The event will be participated in by more than 350 companies from 42 countries, who will showcase the latest products in CCTV, Access Control and Biometric, Perimeter Protection, Control Rooms, Home Automation, Cybersecurity and more. With a wide range of products from renowned companies, IFSEC Southeast Asia 2016 expects to attract more than 10,000 trade visitors from around the region. Exhibitors expect to see government officials, police, trade buyers, specifiers, architects, developers, contractors, system integrators, distributors and end-users, amongst others.

For the 2016 edition, IFSEC Southeast Asia received support from a number of government agencies and associations from Malaysia and other countries, which include Malaysia’s Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Urban Well-being, Housing and Local Government, Royal Malaysia Police, British Security Industry Association (BSIA), Asian Professional Security Association (APSA) Malaysia Chapter, ASIS Malaysia Chapter, CyberSecurity Malaysia, Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia, National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) United Kingdom and International Workplace (IW).

With the involvement of IW, IFSEC Southeast Asia 2016 will organise for the first time a free two-day seminar that will highlight on the occupational, safety and health (OSH) industry. Six topics will be delivered by OSH international experts, such as David Sharp and Danny Cousins from IW, Anthony Wong from Singapore American School, Tim Chappell from Harrow International School, and more. Some of the topics offered are “Educational Travel Risk Management”, “Fire Risk Assessment: Principle and Practice” and “Ensuring a Positive Safety Culture”, and more.

In addition for this year’s edition, the exhibition will provide more insights on cybersecurity threats, which has been the main concern for the government and private sectors. The Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Korea through its agency has joined hands with the National Computing and Information Service (NCIS) towards this cause. NCIS will organise a free panel discussion on September 8th on the topic “Korea’s Cybersecurity Strategy: Public-Private Collaboration to Respond to Cyber Attacks”. Meanwhile, CyberSecurity Malaysia will organise a paid training session on 7 September 2016 from 8.30am to 5.00pm. The training’s theme is “Cybersecurity Risk Management for C-suite”, and the goal is to prepare members of the board and other senior management to understand, assess and take a proactive posture in cybersecurity. Along the way, attendees will investigate risk assessment and management frameworks that help mitigate the risks, as well as identify potential security gaps that could prove a liability.
