Exclusively demonstrating the value of unifying physical and cyber security for 21st century threats, the Converged Security Centre (CSC) returns to IFSEC International, 17-19 May, with Advancis to be headline partner for 2022. 

There’s only one place where security professionals can see ground-breaking converged security technology in action in 2022 and that’s at IFSEC International. The Converged Security Centre feature – the original and best demonstration of how physical security and information technology fuse to provide a holistic solution – returns to the show floor as security professionals reconnect at IFSEC in London for the first time since 2019.

ECHO has announced it is now supporting almost 200,000 Intruder and Hold-Up Alarm systems on police response with URNs (Unique Reference Numbers).

Launched last year, following extensive development, ECHO provides virtually instant alarm signalling to police control rooms from approved Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs) who remotely monitor premises protected by Intruder and Hold-Up alarm systems. Transforming the speed with which police can respond to confirmed alarm signals by replacing the legacy of manual call handling, ECHO is automating police alarm response to homeowners, businesses and government properties across the Metropolitan and Essex police areas, soon to be followed by Avon & Somerset Police and other forces getting ECHO-connected.
