With the increase of traffic in the Middle East over the past few years - of people, goods and services - the need for security and identity management has become increasingly important for the public and the private sectors. Authenticating employees, customers and citizens is becoming progressively more sophisticated and throws up considerable challenges for the organisations that try to remain in control.

The Summit will examine identity management and identity systems, biometrics, physical access management, network authentication and prevention of identity theft.

The conference and exhibition that make up The identity summit provide unmatched and focused attention on the latest technologies, strategies and tactics in both physical and logical identity authentication and management. At The identity summit recognised experts in the technology, systems and applications meet to discuss the issues, developments and future plans affecting the region and internationally.
