Headline keynote announced: A rare glimpse into national security

Our headline speaker is the Head of Physical Security at the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) - a division within the UK’s national security framework. Due to the sensitive nature of their work, we are unable to share their name or image publicly. However, this session promises to be one of the most compelling of the day.

Title: Protective security challenges and advances

This session will explore:

  • The evolving landscape of malicious threats to critical infrastructure, crowded places, sensitive technologies, and connected environments.
  • The spectrum of physical and personnel security countermeasures available to professionals.
  • The mindset and vigilance required to navigate today’s security challenges.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the UK’s leading voices in protective security - a session not to be missed.
