IFSEC in Review: Top 5 Security Stories

Just a few weeks ago, the leaders of the security industry gathered in Birmingham for IFSEC Global 2013. In case you missed it, we thought we’d offer a countdown of the top stories from the show.

Before we start though, let’s take a moment to review some commentary and views found in IFSEC International 2013 Live, which documented the show live, as well as a gallery slideshow titled Sights of IFSEC International 2013. These two offerings will give you a taste of what the nearly 29,000 IFSEC Global visitors experienced.

We provided extensive coverage of the show, and our readers voted with their page views. Here’s a countdown of the top five stories of IFSEC International 2013:

  1. Thomas on Tour at IFSEC International: Surveillance cameras are shrinking day by day, and the industry’s newest product offerings are truly diminutive, even when set side by side with a popular toy.
  2. IFSEC: PSIM Awareness Lags : Physical Security Information Management systems have been long misunderstood. IFSEC speaker Jamie Wilson, security marketing manager (EMEA) at NICE Systems, predicts that the PSIM revolution is about to begin.
  3. IFSEC: CCTV Commissioner Lays Out Strategy: Andrew Rennison laid out the details of the new CCTV Code of Practice. According to the surveillance camera commissioner and forensic science regulator for the UK, we need to strive for a balance between efficacy and transparency.
  4. IFSEC: Security’s Roadmap to 2015: Two think-tank analysts came together to hash out where security is headed. Although neither speaker pretended to have a crystal ball that can surely predict the next few years, both pointed to some key current trends that are bound to continue.
  5. IFSEC: The Role of the Security Systems Integrator Evolves : The security system landscape is shifting quickly, and systems integrators need to evolve if they are to survive and thrive.

IFSEC International 2014 is taking place at the London ExCeL from June 17 to 19, 2014. We look forward to seeing you there!
