14:00 – Protecting Cities and Public Spaces – Connecting the Assets

The webinar will focus on the crucial topic in security that is public safety in our cities. In a world with ever-increasing threat levels, and as cities continue to expand into more digitised environments, it is vital we protect citizens and organisations from physical and cyber threats.

A key theme of the discussion will include how an integrated approach can support in the development of large, secure urban areas, and how this may progress over the coming years. And, how will technology and physical security procedures converge to combat emerging threats. Thanks to our session sponsor, Motorola Solutions.
