The latest integrated security trends

The need for integrated security has become more critical as smart cities, smart factories, smart devices, and smart shopping are becoming more apparent.

Manufacturing, IT, infrastructure, and service industries in Japan, China, and ASEAN are already undergoing digital transformation, and in particular, Korea is accelerating the construction of ‘smart cities’ and ‘e-government’ centred on central government departments and local governments. This is due to social changes such as easy paperwork, easy payment, and authentication, various O2O service platforms, cyber security threats, cloud service growth, population reduction, and intelligent transportation.

In addition, the cost of production using machines has become much lower than the cost of production using human labour, encouraging the acceleration of “smart factories.” And due to the long-standing impact of COVID-19, the market for non-face-to-face medical care, video conferencing, and kiosks continues to grow.

SECON 2023 is a trend-leading exhibition at the heart of this digital transformation, allowing you to experience the latest products and solution services, while reading the latest security trends in advance to help you anticipate changes in near future.Ms. Soyoung Choi, CEO of Informa Markets BN Co Ltd, an organiser of SECON, said: “SECON 2023 is the best platform for security industry trading consultation, and buyers can have a good opportunity to experience the latest security technologies in Korea as well as Asia in one place.”
