These are challenging and changing times for the security industry. The traditional supply chain is in a state of flux, the technology is undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift and traditional tools like surveillance now have applications well beyond the mere detection and deterrence of theft, violence or vandalism.

Innovation is happening at an unprecedented pace and concepts like ‘smart buildings’ and the ‘internet of things’ are changing fundamentally the role of the security professional. As well as presenting unparalleled opportunities for boosting security in a more cost-effective way, these changes also leave organisations more exposed than ever before to cyber attacks.

The IFSEC Security Podcast brings to your smartphone interviews with some of the industry’s most respected thinkers and luminaries to help you make sense of the changes sweeping the industry.

Episode One: Safe Cities, Boris Johnson and Drones – an interview with Dr Simon Moores

We are delighted to launch our first episode with a fascinating interview with Dr Simon Moores. Named one of the top 8 thought leaders in UK Tech by Tech.Co Dr Moores is a prominent government adviser on cyber crime and information security.

Ahead of his keynote address at IFSEC 2015 (register to attend here) Dr Simon Moores discusses the opportunities and challenges posed to modern cities by smart technologies, reflecting on an illuminating meeting with Boris Johnson and the challenges of pushing projects through in advanced democracies compared to absolute monarchies like the UAE – among other things.

Ahead of his much anticipated keynote at IFSEC International 2015, Dr Moores spoke to us about:

  • Why London has some catching up to do if it wants to rival smart cities such as Dubai and Singapore
  • How Physical and IT security will become increasingly inseparable in the coming years
  • Opportunities and threats posed by this rapidly changing landscape to security professionals and their organisations
  • Robot guards, CCTV drones and Boris bikes

If you like the podcast then make sure subscribe to it via iTunes or your preferred podcast app and register for IFSEC International 2015 to hear Simon Moore’s full keynote address in June.
