Through the Converged Security Centre, conference attendees will be immersed in the world of converged security through a hands-on, in-depth education programme, including panel discussions and presentations focused on the latest trends and capabilities of a range of CSIM use cases and vertical market solutions.

While businesses and government organisations have greatly benefited from increased ubiquitous connectivity, increasingly complex networked systems have opened the back door to mission-critical security threats. In light of the growing integration between security systems, new technologies, and digital networks, converged security has become paramount to the success of risk and security programmes for organisations worldwide.

“There is a rapidly growing requirement for a converged security solution that monitors both physical and cyber security events under one, unified software platform.” James I Chong, CEO, Vidsys

The Converged Security Centre in partnership with Vidsys allows visitors to be not only introduced to some of the leading converged security solutions, but also means they can watch live simulations to demonstrate their efficacy across a range of real-world applications. They are given the opportunity to ask experts and practitioners for their insights and advice to learn more about how these solutions can meet their growing security needs.

Rachel Eaton, Ifsec International event manager, said: ‘We’re delighted to be working with Vidsys again at Ifsec International 2019 as our major catalyst behind the Converged Security Centre. This forum was a major success in 2018, highlighting Ifsec’s credentials as a thought leader and ensuring the event remained at the heart of the conversation around converged security.

It’s important for security professionals to understand the significance of increasingly interconnected systems, and the capabilities of CSIM as a solution. By providing a platform lead by converged security experts, we can help visitors learn about the key issues within the sector, and find security solutions they can trust.’

James I Chong, CEO, Vidsys, says: “We’re thrilled to be part of the Converged Security Centre’s return at Ifsec International 2019 and to be working with our global partners and experts to showcase and share what a truly converged security solution can provide to organisations worldwide.

“Today, there is a rapidly growing requirement for a converged security solution that monitors both physical and cyber security events under one, unified software platform, especially due to the ever-increasing amount of data created in the world of IoT and smart cities.”
