ISC West is one of the biggest security conferences in the world, with biometrics being no less an important topic than at any other security-focused event as the technology boom continues, so it was only fitting that FindBiometrics would catch up with ISC West’s leading organizer before the end of show last week.

Sitting down with FindBiometrics Director of Digital Content Susan Stover, ISC West’s Will Wise – the Group Vice President for Reed Exhibitions’ Security Events Portfolio – touched on a range of topics, starting with the success of ISC West’s education programs developed with SIA, and moving on to highlights like the Department of Homeland Security’s significant presence at the show, growing attendance, and the extension of ISC West’s partnership with the SIA into the next decade. Wise and Stover also discussed the continuing ascent of biometric security solutions, and the security industry’s paradigm shift concerning data security and the convergence of digital and physical security.
