ASIS International Celebrates GSX Military and Law Enforcement Day

NEW ORLEANS — ASIS International celebrated Military and Law Enforcement Appreciation Day at Global Security Exchange (GSX 2025) on Wednesday, Oct. 1, where law enforcement, military and first responders received a free one-day pass to attend the final day of the industry exhibition.

ASIS began the day with a sold-out breakfast event that “celebrated the dedication of active duty and retired law enforcement, military personnel and first responders,” according to the ASIS announcement.

The day opened with a presentation on cross-sector collaboration and the successful transition of veterans and law enforcement professionals into security careers, delivered by Mikaela Fahey, PSP, vice chairwoman of ASIS International’s Military and Veterans Community, and Karen Flowers, CTM, vice chairwoman of the Law Enforcement Liaison Community.

“When we facilitate meaningful connections between the private and public sectors, we unlock transformative outcomes,” said Fahey in her presentation. “We’ve seen former police chiefs help retail organizations implement ‘community policing principles that simultaneously reduce theft and enhance customer relations.

We’ve watched Navy intelligence officers guide financial services firms in adopting an adversarial mindset when evaluating cybersecurity vulnerabilities. These collaborations don’t just share knowledge; they create measurable impact in protecting our communities,” she said.

What Else Did ASIS Do on Military Appreciation Day?

Wednesday’s general session featured Gen. Paul M. Nakasone (Ret.)’s keynote address entitled “Lasting Leadership Lessons from the World’s Second-Oldest Profession.” Nakasone led the largest and most technically advanced component of the U.S. Intelligence Community, the National Security Agency for nearly six years.

GSX 2025 marked the start of Cybersecurity Awareness Month with the speech by the former U.S. Cyber Command leader that spoke of leadership during transition, both societal and technological and his pivotal role in the establishment of the organization.

“We have a number of different nations that are operating adversely in cyberspace (China, Russia, North Korea and Iran),” said Nakasone in his presentation. “We have a convergence between physical and cybersecurity and we are witnessing the most disruptive technology of our time, artificial intelligence.”

Nakasone spoke of how the convergence and disruptions are changing the behaviors of state actors and what that means for Americans.

“It is estimated today that almost every American has been touched by Chinese cyberattack capabilities,” he said. “This is the scope of what is happening today in cyberspace.”

Nakasone shared that agility and resilience were key to leading through transition and three leadership personal lessons from the world’s second-oldest profession that never change: critical thinking, communication and character.

“Character is what you are in the dark,” Nakasone told the GSX 2025 audience. “We want security professionals that are viewed with the greatest amount of character.”

Numerous sessions focused on resilience in many forms including security mindsets and the ability to adapt to change in an evolving threat landscape. Wednesday’s Game Changer “Resilience Amid Changing Conditions: Partnerships, Risk Transference, and New Patterns to Predict” focused on disaster preparedness, a critical area of concern given that disasters cost an estimated $320 billion worldwide in 2024.

The session highlighted resilience and focused on how paramount partnerships were in addressing crises.

Artificial intelligence also represented a major theme throughout the conference, and Wednesday was no exception with sessions such as “Transforming Security Planning: AI and Predictive Analytics for Master Plan Success,” and “From Reactive to Proactive: How AI and Human Verification Revolutionize Incident Reporting.”

Welcome to Gary Pearce Home Services' authoritative guide on Future of Dental and Medical Practices CCTV in 2026 - UK trends and technology . 1. The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated its strict codes of practice to reflect advances in AI-driven edge surveillance. For dental and medical practices to remain compliant, any newly deployed CCTV system must strictly adhere to the ICO CCTV Code , UK GDPR , and the industry-recognised BS EN 62676 standard for video surveillance systems. To achieve SSAIB Grade 2 or Grade 3 certification, practice owners must ensure that security data i...

The 8K Resolution Era: Why Forensic CCTV is Now the Residential Standard

# The 8K Resolution Era: Why Forensic CCTV is Now the Residential Standard For years, 4K (8-Megapixel) resolution was considered the "ceiling" for residential security. But as we move into 2026, the demand for **Forensic Clarity** has pushed 8K (32-Megapixel) sensors into the mainstream. At **CCTV Systems**, we are seeing a massive shift towards 8K installations for homeowners who require more than just "vague shapes"

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
