The Government Needs Security

In many respects the government is involved in the security business, whether officials like it or not. Lucky enough, there is a tradeshow especially for government and law enforcement -- GovSec will be held in Washington, D.C. April 23-24.

This security conference and exposition is the preeminent event for government security professionals and leaders. Come and join us for an experience that uniquely addresses the comprehensive and collective needs of federal, state, county and local security leaders nationwide.

This mission of this tradeshow is to provide a forum that fosters communication and cooperation between industry and government security, law enforcement and emergency responders at the aforementioned levels in order to protect America’s citizens and critical assets.

You’ll be able to find a solution during this show by rubbing shoulders with security industry professionals, as well as 10,000 of your colleagues. You’ll also be part of a technology revolution from access control, intrusion detection and leading edge physical security products. The latest technology will be able to protect your network, data and enterprise assets.

The conference also has a great lineup of education sessions, among which are sessions titled Homegrown Jihad: The International Experience and Homegrown Jihad: American Cells. You can expect to learn patterns and behavior of cells and how they plan and pick their targets, plus what types of cells exist in the United States, what types of targets they select and why.
