Abstract:
 Countries covered: Global

THE PREMIER HOMELAND SECURITY EVENT IN EUROPE IS BACK FOR A 4TH YEAR!

Recent events in London, Bali, Egypt and New Orleans have focused the attention of Governments and the private sector on ensuring homeland defence, economic security and asset and infrastructure protection following disruptive events. Establishing and developing the appropriate preparedness and responsiveness to terrorist attacks, natural disasters and wide area crises has returned to the top of government and industry agendas.

When homeland defence fails, national emergency planning, response and business continuity management will determine the extent of the impact any disruptive event has upon national economy and public life. This year’s conference will look in detail at global defence policy and doctrine, identify current and emerging threats to homeland security and assess potential vulnerabilities at local, regional and national levels. Strategic and operational requirements for the Armed Forces, emergency services and private sector will be identified, providing a complete picture of priorities in today’s global security environment.

With a view to increasing inter-agency and cross sector communication and co-operation, Homeland Security and Resilience 2006 will present the crucial security objectives that defence and resilience planning must consider to ensure national cross sector capability, and provide innovative proposals as to how they may be achieved.

Bringing together high level international perspectives from defence, aviation, transportation, business and infrastructure, Homeland Security and Resilience 2006 will outline how national resources can be combined to provide increased emergency preparedness, responsiveness and security. Other key issues being discussed include the effect of future security legislation on civil liberties, critical infrastructure protection, geospatial intelligence, bio-defence, border security, cybersecurity and the impact of increased national spending for homeland defence. Emerging systems including intelligent sensors, biometric technologies and IED countermeasures will also be examined illustrating what resources are available to counter the threats posed by today’s unpredictable security environment.

Homeland Security and Resilience 2006 will feature a mixed programme of high level presentations from key industry figures and some interactive plenary sessions.

An exceptional international line up of speakers includes:
  • Michael Fullerton, Head, Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), US Department of Homeland Security
