In a country with growing concerns on insecurity across public, commercial and private spaces, and evolving security threats in the cyber space as transactions go cashless, Securex West Africa is a timely event providing good public value.

Redefining the business events space and positioning it for greater value is Montgomery’s goal in the next ten years..
Securex West Africa 2015 will be supported by a high profile seminar programme discussing existing counter terrorism policies, understanding new domain threats, cyber security, training security forces, strategic approaches to emerging threats, accessing gaps in existing commercial and homeland security infrastructure, implementing effective resilience measures to mitigate potential crisis and more.
For 2014 Securex West Africa there were 2000 visitors in attendance and 71 per cent of these visitors were at the event to seek new products.
