The shifting security landscape and newly emerging threats require the countries of the GCC and wider Middle East to formulate national security strategies and frameworks that share common approaches and address shared security concerns.
As key security stakeholders continue to develop and implement these policies, security providers will be called upon to offer the most advanced technologies and integrated systems that mitigate the risk posed by threats to homeland stability and tranquility.
The annual Homeland Security Summit - Middle East, currently taking place at Beach Rotana Hotel in Abu Dhabi (19-21 May), is the region’s premiere event for ascertaining information about the latest trends in homeland security and the most advanced technologies for integrating capability across multiple agencies and directorates.
This year’s summit addresses:
- Command and Control with Communications for maximum preparedness
- Cyber and electronic crime
- Border and Points of Access, including Biometrics, ID, Surveillance and Border Control
These challenges need to be met with unique and innovative solutions that ensure both the protection of critical national infrastructure and informational assets, maritime and port security, electronic identity and monitoring of non-state actors, border protection and security, cyber and information security, and ultimately the modernization and integration of regional security forces.
The summit features the following senior stakeholders seeking solutions in preparation for the region’s crisis management, emergency response and C3i programs:
- Major General Dr. Osama Sawah, Director Emergency Preparedness, Dubai Police
- H.E. Mohamed Nasser Al Ghanim, Director General, UAE Telecoms Regulatory Authority
- Major Mohamed Nasser Al Mansoori, Director GIS, Abu Dhabi Police
- Colonel Barakat Yaqoub Al Kindy, Head of System Development, Department of IT & T, Abu Dhabi Police
