As the global fair for civil security, Security Essen will give answers to current challenges facing the economy and the society. From September 27 to 30, 2016, more than 1,000 companies from around 40 nations will redefine the standard for civil security at Messe Essen. In the six pillars (Mechanical Security Systems, Cyber Security, CCTV, Fire Prevention, Services as well as Perimeter Security), the exhibitors will present their newest products and services. The Video Surveillance and Perimeter Security exhibition areas have grown.
A large number of manufacturers and system suppliers will show innovations in the field of security technology. No matter whether access control, locking technology or video surveillance – the increasing networking of these systems is demanding new solutions. Cyber security will be another main focal point of the fair. No matter whether cyber attacks or economic espionage – there has been a substantial rise in crime in the digital field. Additional specialist support will be offered by the specialist conference which will be called “Networked Security / Industry 4.0“. It will take place for the first time and, amongst others, will feature experts from the Fraunhofer Institute and from the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Bonn.
In live demonstrations, exhibitors will highlight the degrees of security of their products in an impressive way. The programme on the outdoor site at the fair will include attacks on bulletproof glass as well as blasts. On the Thursday of the fair, this site will be reserved for the fire brigades and the exhibitors from the Fire Prevention area. Within the framework of the Fire Prevention Day, they will show elaborate rescue measures and innovations which prevent fires or help to fight them effectively.
