960 640 Stuart O'Brien

We’re delighted to confirm Figen Murray, the campaigning force behind Martyn’s Law, will be sharing details of her work with the security industry at October’s Total Security Summit.

Figen (pictured, above) is the mother of Martyn Hett, who was tragically killed alongside 21 others at the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in May 2017.

She has been working with the Government and the security industry to make tangible changes to security at venues and is the force behind Martyn’s Law, a legislation requiring publicly accessible locations to improve security against the threat of terrorism. She achieved a distinction in her MA in Counterterrorism from the University of Central Lancashire.

Figen’s dedication and work in counter terrorism saw her awarded an OBE in the 2022 New Year’s Honours List.

Here are the details of Figen’s talk:-

From Tragedy to Positive Change

After losing her son in a terrorist attack in May 2017 Figen Murray realised that there are no legal requirements for venues to keep customers and staff safe from terrorist threats. After starting a campaign, she is now working with the government on this legislation. The talk will focus on:-

What happened at the arena and the weeks that followed?

  • The campaign
  • Working with the government
  • My concerns regarding the legislation
  • My hopes regarding the future of the security industry & the impact on society

Attendance is completely free, including all meals, refreshments, overnight accommodation and networking dinner.

Predicting the future evolution of physical security

960 639 Stuart O'Brien

The physical security market is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by advancements in technology and the growing need for robust security solutions. As we look ahead, it becomes evident that the future of physical security will be shaped by emerging trends and innovations. This article explores the likely evolution of the physical security market and the key factors that will drive its growth…

  1. Convergence of Physical and Cybersecurity

One of the most significant shifts we can expect in the future is the convergence of physical and cybersecurity. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices, the boundaries between physical and digital security are blurring. Integrated security systems that combine physical surveillance, access control, and cybersecurity measures will become the norm. This convergence will enable more comprehensive and holistic security solutions that address both physical and digital threats.

  1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will continue to play a pivotal role in the evolution of physical security. AI-powered analytics will enhance surveillance systems, enabling real-time threat detection and predictive analysis. Machine Learning algorithms will improve accuracy in facial recognition, object detection, and anomaly detection. AI-driven automation will streamline security operations, freeing up human resources for more strategic tasks.

  1. Advanced Biometric Solutions

Biometric solutions, such as fingerprint recognition and facial recognition, will witness significant advancements in the future. Improved accuracy, faster processing speeds, and better anti-spoofing techniques will make biometrics more secure and reliable. Biometric authentication will become more prevalent in access control systems, replacing traditional methods like access cards and passwords.

  1. Cloud-Based Security Systems

Cloud technology will continue to revolutionize the physical security market. Cloud-based security systems offer scalability, flexibility, and centralised management. They enable real-time monitoring, data storage, and remote access to security systems from anywhere, enhancing operational efficiency. Cloud-based solutions will also facilitate seamless integration with other technologies, such as IoT devices and data analytics platforms.

  1. Data Analytics and Predictive Insights

The future of physical security lies in harnessing the power of data analytics and predictive insights. Advanced analytics platforms will process vast amounts of data collected from various security systems, enabling proactive threat assessment and preventive actions. Predictive analytics will help identify patterns, detect anomalies, and predict potential security breaches. This proactive approach will enable organisations to stay one step ahead of threats and mitigate risks effectively.

  1. Enhanced User Experience and Integration

User experience and ease of integration will be crucial factors in the future evolution of physical security. User-friendly interfaces, mobile applications, and intuitive dashboards will empower users to manage and monitor security systems with ease. Seamless integration between different security technologies and third-party systems will enable a more comprehensive security ecosystem, fostering interoperability and maximising the effectiveness of security measures.

The future of the physical security market is poised to be transformative, with technology at its core. Convergence of physical and cybersecurity, AI-driven solutions, advanced biometrics, cloud-based systems, data analytics, and enhanced user experience will drive the evolution of physical security.

Organisations will need to embrace these emerging trends to adapt to evolving threats and safeguard their assets effectively. By embracing innovation, leveraging advanced technologies, and staying ahead of the curve, the future of physical security promises a safer and more secure environment for all.

All these trends and more will be explored at October’s Total Security Summit.

MEET THE TEAM: Total Security Summit’s Macy Townsend on key buying trends for 2023

960 640 Stuart O'Brien

In this Q&A Total Security Summit‘s Sales Manager, Macy Townsend (pictured, right), reveals what solutions events delegates are looking for most in 2023, plus how the unique event format works for both suppliers and industry professionals…

What are the key trends in the security industry for 2023?

From our recent research and looking at the buyers demands, the focus this year is access control and how AI can assist security and link with alarm systems. Traditional security areas also continue to be explored.

What are the products and services security professionals are looking for most in the year ahead?

As mentioned above the predominant areas are, Access Control but I have also seen a large increase in Alarm Systems, AI, Business Continuity, CCTV, Crisis Management, Risk Management Training and many more

Tell us about the Total Security Summit format and its unique benefits for industry suppliers.

The event takes places over a course of two days to maximise networking opportunities with buyers during breaks, lunches and a Gala Dinner. During the two days, the Summit follows an award-winning structure that brings senior security buyers together with industry leading solution providers for a series of pre-qualified 1-2-1 meetings; essentially this means suppliers will only be meeting with buyers who have specifically requested them and vice versa.

How do you work with industry suppliers in the lead up to a Summit?

Once confirmed, suppliers are asked to submit their Company profiles. They then receive a list of confirmed buyers who they would like to meet with. Personalised itineraries are then created based on this information, taking into consideration the suppliers that the buyers will also have selected. This system ensures that the only meetings taking place on the event day, are those that have been pre-qualified by both buyer and supplier.

What tips would you give to industry suppliers and attending delegates to maximise their time at the Summit?

Delegates should come with an open mind as a supplier will have been given the opportunity to research the list of confirmed buyers ahead of the event, therefore there will be a reason they have requested a meeting with you. Equally during the process prior to the event ensure you research the suppliers attending so you can match with those who can meet your needs.

Suppliers should prioritise the buyers and select to meet with as many as possible to maximise your time at the event. As the Summit is a two-day event, you could think of your 1-2-1 meetings as corporate speed dating, followed by a dinner date in the evening with anyone you would like to follow up with.

Everyone can take advantage of the multiple networking opportunities we run over the course of the event.  Keep an eye out for the name badges and those you might want to speak to.
