Concurrent conference commended for reviewing pressing domestic industry issues
Part of Secutech India 2014’s biggest goal was to bring together government officials and commercial firms to look at the growing security issues now India is facing. Over the course of the fair’s first two days, more than 15 industry experts were engaged in a series of insightful discussions at the Secutech India Safety and Security Conclave (SISSC-2014), which aimed to address the growth of India’s security market, while also trying to tackle some of the domestic industry’s biggest challenges. Some of the discussion topics included:
* Secured Cash Management for Banks & ATMs
* Cyber Security Challenge: Mission Critical Data Security
* Security Solutions for the Oil & Gas, Energy Sector
* Future Trends with Security in Home Automation
Mr Parag Vora, Head of Group Security at Mahinda & Mahindra Ltd, was a guest speaker at a discussion on India’s booming security and safety market. He shared: “The biggest challenge that the Security Industry faces today is government recognition or the absence of it. An industry event like Secutech brings professionals from various sectors to a common platform, and provides a stage to voice their security concerns. This is my second year at the show and the themes set up for conferences this year are of valued importance. Through these conferences, we hope to create an independent body that can mirror our voice to the government and policy makers.”
Conference delegates shared mutual satisfaction for the conclave’s exceptional quality. Mr Hari Bisht, Head-SBU at ESMS (I) Pvt Ltd noted: “This is the second time I have attended Secutech India. The concurrent conference was a good channel where industry experts and players from different professions were gathered and given a chance to interact with each other. I found it to be a helpful event where I could learn about the direction of the industry’s development, and possible solutions to deal with the challenges ahead.”
With twelve events, Messe Frankfurt is one of the world’s leading organisers of fairs and congresses for the expanding international field of safety and security technology. Nine trade fairs and three high-grade congresses in Germany, Asia, the Middle East, South America and the Russia Federation provide optimum opportunities for gaining a foothold in these dynamic growth markets.
