Intersec Forum 2018: Security Meets Smart Building

April 26, 2018

The 3rd Intersec Forum in Frankfurt am Main brought together 650 experts from the security and building-services technology sectors, affirming the Intersec Forum to be in the right place at the right time to tackle future-oriented topics.

“The demand from the building-services technology and the security technology sectors for an exchange of ideas and information, as well as collaboration on the development of ultra-modern solutions, has found its place at Intersec Forum,” says Wolfgang Marzin, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Messe Frankfurt.

The contributions by and discussions with top speakers covered the complete spectrum of technological networking in tomorrow’s buildings: from questions of standardization, via specific solutions for the open integration of IP-based systems and the internet of things on technology platforms; from anticipating new security issues in buildings and the urban environment to a look into the future of sensory access-management models and the semantic web.

“We see the need for integration of effective information-security measures in the conceptual stages of building-digitalization solutions,” says Arne Schönbohm, President of the German Federal Office for Information Security. “Cyber security is one of the main prerequisites for successful concepts for smart homes, smart buildings and, therefore, smart cities. For this segment, Intersec Forum offers a professional and future-oriented platform for the exchange of ideas and information.”

The 4th Intersec Forum will be held at Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre in March 2019. Intersec Forum is held annually under the motto “Security meets Smart Building: digitalization and security in tomorrow’s buildings,” and concurrently with Light + Building and ISH.
