Whitepaper: Enhancing security, resilience and efficiency across a range of industries

Formerly the Tavcom Theatre,  The Future of Security Theatre, sponsored by Tavcom Training and Panasonic Business, will see a number of security experts take to the stage during IFSEC 2018.

This year’s programme will see specialist speakers from across the security industry deliver a range of free educational sessions on a variety of topics including integrated networks, audio systems, countering drone threats and the convergence of physical and cybersecurity.

Tavcom Training, part of the Link International Group, will form a key component of the new ‘Show Me How’ project at IFSEC 2018 and will once again deliver essential CPD accredited presentations on important technical subjects for security professionals.

Speakers will include Peter Mason, lead IP Tutor at Tavcom Training, Justin Pringle, CTO at DroneOps and Jim Perkins, business development manager at Panasonic UK as well as many more who will share their industry insight.

“We have a longstanding and proud tradition of delivering free education at IFSEC, which expects to see over 40,000 visitors this year and has been at the heart of the security market for more than 40 years,” said Tavcom Training Executive Director Paul Tennent.

There will also be the opportunity to learn about the Register for Certified Technical Security Professionals, which offers the opportunity for individuals in technical roles in the electronic security and fire systems sectors, to be officially recognised for their competencies and qualifications on a public register.

Paul Tennent continued: “IFSEC International will again deliver on its promise to educate and enlighten visitors. Myself and the team at Linx International Group look forward to seeing you there!”
