26/11 tackling the security lapses not only in
defence related aspects but in home and civilian
regions as well, has become a matter of grave
importance for the nation as a whole. With the
constantly growing threat of terrorism gaining
new levels, it has become very important to put
into place mechanisms involving technology, human
& intelligence based applications that will provide
all round sense of protection and security said
D R Karthikeyan, Chairman, ASSOCHAM’s National
Council on Installations, Premises & Personnel
Security.

India, brought together the leading Indian and

decision makers and influencers The event enabled
professionals from the Indian Government and private
Industries, to identify and procure the latest
innovations and technology to meet their security
needs.

national agencies and administrations dedicated

communication infrastructure in the world need
precise control and management of valuable assets.

responses from the industry and I am very excited
with the way the industry is reacting towards
the event. Even with choices available to exhibitors,
they still consider IFSEC as the safest marketing
tool and invest most of their budget with us.”
The US dominates the Homeland Security Market,
and is among only a handful of countries to have
a dedicated Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Other major markets include Saudi Arabia, India
and China, all of which are set to experience
strong growth in the coming decades as they grapple
with a variety of internal and external threats
to stability. A variety of scanning, detection
and protection capabilities are being deployed

the scope for integration of current protective
measures is considerable. A host of new technologies
and inventive applications of current equipment
is required to secure states from threats to their
