National Security Summit Middle East 2010: Overcoming the barriers to information-sharing to achieve successful border protection against emerging threats

December 25, 2009 - People from across the world were diverted from their Christmas celebrations as the news spread of a failed explosion on board a Detroit-bound airline.

Investigations in the aftermath on the failed attack were even more shocking when it was found that there were already existing reports on the bomber’s suspicious activities filed with various security agencies, which had not been filtered through to the airport security staff.

National Security Summit Middle East: Counter Terrorism & Border Security offers a comprehensive agenda to address the emerging threats and critical strategies that will allow you to overcome the barriers to information-sharing between government agencies and international security agencies. The agenda will also identify the latest technologies and solutions for border security and control and how you can enforce these cutting-edge measures within your organisation.

In 2010, the event will cover the following topics:

  • Outlook on emerging threats
  • Developing a resilient national and regional policy framework
  • Country briefs on innovative methods for achieving border security and control
  • Collaborative measures and platforms to facilitate information-sharing between inter and international security agencies
  • Latest cutting-edge border control and security equipment, technology and solutions and how you can effectively implement them in your organisation
