Event Overview:

Focus On Eight Main Topics

As the most important event and impulse-giving platform for innovations, contacts, and deals, security essen attracts exhibitors and visitors from all over the world.

Reasons To Visit:

  • Special-purpose vehicles

Special-purpose vehicles are used in a variety of different fields. Whether it’s fire service emergency response vehicles, armored vehicles, vehicles used to transport money or other valuables, every situation requires a different security solution. At security essen, visitors find the right manufacturers and outfitters for every vehicle type.

  • Civil protection and defense

Military conflict, natural disasters, and other large-scale emergencies represent a growing challenge for institutions and authorities alike, just as hostile intelligence agencies and extremists are targeting their attacks on critical infrastructure. The need for effective solutions is therefore constantly growing. Here innovative products show how to make the world a safer place.

  • Special forces

New threat scenarios from unrest and civil war to local military conflict have led to increasing demand for security technology globally. For the first time in 2024, security essen will allow suppliers of weapons and protective equipment to showcase their products to special forces in a dedicated area.

  • Video

The exhibition area "video" is one of the visitor magnets. Classic video surveillance has now reached a level of performance and is being developed further all the time. CCTV isn’t just there for when things go wrong. It also works as an effective deterrent, preventing crime and putting off potential criminals from the outset. When used in combination with automated reporting systems, security and response teams can be deployed already quickly and effectively. CCTV systems are a natural part of modern building technology.

  • Perimeter protection

The security of businesses as well as both public and private buildings and facilities begins before visitors even step foot through the door. Beyond the classic entry and exit components, such as gates, barriers, and bollards, drones are now being used more and more to protect premises. In the Drone Zone, suppliers can show off their latest products.

  • Entrance/mechatronics/mechanics/systems

Whether it’s mechanical locking systems or electronic ones, access solutions are one of the key features of security essen that are always in high and unrelenting demand. Suppliers are already showing here today what will be state-of-the-art tomorrow.

  • Fire/intrusion/systems

Fire protection involves several complex components and systems that are constantly expanding. And there are countless solutions to protect against intrusion in practically every situation. That’s why it’s so important to stay up to date. At security essen, exhibitors have the opportunity to showcase everything that makes buildings safer to a specialist audience.

  • Services

25 % of visitors are interested in the services section of the exhibition. Hardly any other sector is more diverse or affected by greater growth and change. In addition to property, event, and personal security, these include money or valuables services and a secure cash cycle.

  • Digital networking security

Digital and Networking have become an integral part of civil security. Therefore new possibilities, such as smart homes, have been developed. New solutions require various measures, including specific software, to reliably protect sensitive data and networks from unauthorized access.
