Security 2017 announces speaker line-up

The speaker line-up for the 2017 Security Exhibition & Conference has just been announced.

To be held at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney, in Darling Harbour, from 26–28 July, the event unites all security professionals, from installers and integrators to end users and consultants.

Speakers include Danny Baade, Head of Security at Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation; Neil Campbell, Director of Global Security Solutions at Telstra; and Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch, Commander Counter Terrorism & Special Tactics at NSW Police.

The event will feature more than 150 suppliers in the security industry, including Las Vegas’ ISC West award winners HID Global, Honeywell, Axis Communications, ASSA ABLOY, Bosch, March Networks, Quantum Corporation and FLIR Systems.

Attendees can learn how sensitive data can be compromised by technology such as spying drones and connected cars; understand the complexities of airport security; hear how social media and media training can be key in a crisis; or watch a live hack of a mobile device.

This year’s event includes an exciting program from Australian Security Industry Association (ASIAL) to help security professionals address their approach to operational challenges and threats, executive briefings, a new product highlights stage and the launch of the new Cyber Security Zone.

“We’re excited to be taking the event back to Sydney after three years in Melbourne,” Security Exhibition & Conference 2017 Event Manager Melissa Clendinen said. Following feedback from the last year’s visiting and exhibiting audience, this year’s event will also see the debut of a Cyber Security Zone designed to meet increased demand for the adoption of solutions to protect data from threat of breach and cyber attacks. The zone features the likes of Sententia, Ncrypt and Kaspersky.
