The half-day event will focus in particular on addressing vulnerabilities of physical security products that are ‘connected’ – those that are accessed or operated remotely via the internet. So whether you procure, operate or install IP CCTV, IP access control, IP intruder alarms, IP fire systems and other connected systems, the event is relevant to you.
Also supported by the Fire Industry Association (FIA), the seminar will take place in Solihull, West Midlands on 4 October.
The introduction of the GDPR, which comes into force from 25 May 2018, is raising the stakes when it comes to strengthening protections against data breaches. Fines for non-compliance could be as much as 79 times greater than under the existing data protection regime.
The GDPR and its implications will no doubt be a big attraction for those who attend the seminar.
Cybersecurity experts from the West Midlands Police digital cybercrime team and the Scottish Business Resilience Centre’s team of ‘ethical hackers’ will also deliver presentations.
Another session will discuss the Cyber Essentials accreditation, while the BSIA will review its own work in the cybersecurity field.
Exhibition space is still available to companies wishing to showcase products and services to a wide range of delegates from the fire and security sectors. A limited number of stands are still available to book, priced at £395 + VAT for BSIA and FIA members, and £495 + VAT for non-members.
Registration for the event will be open from 9:00am, with presentations kicking off at 9:45am and the event expected to finish at around 13:30. A full programme and online booking forms for both delegates and exhibitors are all available from the BSIA’s website.
