Dubai Gears Up for the 26th Edition of the World’s Largest Security, Safety, and Fire Protection Trade Fair
Intersec has firmly established itself as a global powerhouse, renowned for its unparalleled success in bringing together world-class speakers, a cutting-edge conference program, prestigious awards, an innovation zone, and an array of live demonstrations. Since its humble beginnings in 1999, with just 61 exhibitors from 13 countries, Intersec has evolved into the premier international platform for security, safety, and fire protection.
This year, Integrator Media is proud to serve as the official regional media partner for the expo. We’ll be on the ground from Day 1, engaging with suppliers, thought leaders, innovators, manufacturers, and buyers. Through our camera lens and dedicated coverage on our LinkedIn and website pages, we’ll spotlight the latest technologies, products, and solutions driving transformation across various industries.
As the world stands at the forefront of technological innovation, the critical importance of security in our lives cannot be overstated. Addressing complex challenges requires a global collaboration between security experts, policymakers, and standardization communities. Intersec rises to this occasion with over 25 dynamic sessions, including panels, leadership talks, and fireside chats, featuring renowned speakers and thought leaders from across the globe.
Notable speakers include Brett Taylor, Safety & Security Director at Diriyah; Fawaz AlSumaim, Head of Cyber Crime Division at Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior; Stuart Frost, Head of Enterprise Security & Risk Management for the UK Government; and Mohamed AlMaleki, Head of Information Security Office at the UAE’s Federal Tax Authority. These leaders will tackle pressing challenges in their respective fields, sharing insights, best practices, and transformative strategies.
This year’s event will also feature experts from global powerhouses such as Mastercard, Mubadala, Schneider Electric, MBC Group, and more. High-level plenaries and keynotes will showcase security strategists, policymakers, and innovators from organizations like Interpol, Neom, Aramco, Amazon, and Google, offering an invaluable opportunity to gain insights into the future of security and safety.
The Middle East homeland security market, which includes monitoring and surveillance systems, restricted entry mechanisms, and perimeter security solutions, is projected to reach $23.4 billion by 2028. Additionally, the region’s cybersecurity market is being propelled by rapid digital transformation and increased adoption of cloud technologies. Regulatory efforts aimed at countering evolving threats further amplify the importance of cybersecurity in driving growth.
Intersec’s 26th edition promises to be a transformative event, uniting global visionaries and innovators to shape the future of security, safety, and fire protection. It stands as a testament to Dubai’s pivotal role in fostering collaboration and innovation on the global stage.
