All of the seats were taken when members of the ASC attend London’s historic Honourable Artillery Company for the May 2023 Business Group Meeting.
Roger Noakes, opened the event with a welcome to the seven new members of the ASC, as well as many long standing members and associates who were at the event. He gave everyone an update on the arrangements for CONSEC where virtually all of the stands have now been booked. He explained that the board have cancelled the Business Group Meeting for July, as traditionally it is not well attended during the summer holiday period.
Roger then handed over to Tom Bradle from Sureview Systems, who talked about the benefits of using data driven decisions to shape and improve security operations and outcomes.
After a break out period where members enjoyed the opportunity to network, Paul Renham from Veracity Systems, spoke about working with the National Protective Security Authority [NPSA] and the process to attain qualifying requirements for Cyber Assurance of Physical Security Systems [CAPSS]. CAPSS provides a mechanism by which CNI sites can have confidence that software and hardware security solutions have strong and effective cyber mitigations at the core of their development and operation.
The finale of the day was a talk by Steve Hodge from Dallmeier who talked through working with the management of large stadiums, the ever-changing issues that they face, the many different bodies that need to be engaged with in the process and how to position a pitch to sports management.
The event was ended with a light lunch and a further opportunity to network, meet the ASC Board and the days speakers.
Thank you to all the speakers and those who attended.
The next Business Group Meeting is scheduled to take place on 21st September 2023.
