The perimeter security market is rapidly expanding, with forecasts predicting a growth to $89.82 billion by 2027. A key trend in this growth is the integration of mobile credentials, which are set to revolutionize access control and security management, particularly in the Middle East.
AMAG Technology, a leading provider of security technology solutions, will showcase the advancements in mobile credentials at Intersec 2025, scheduled for January 14-16 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). James Clark, Director of Sales – EMEA & APAC at AMAG Technology, notes that mobile technology is pivotal in reducing costs, enhancing convenience, and improving operational efficiencies in security frameworks.
Clark highlights the practical benefits of mobile credentials, stating, “With everyone using mobile devices for personal management, it’s logical to extend this to security, allowing mobile devices or wallets to unlock doors at the workplace. This shift not only cuts costs associated with physical cards but also simplifies the administrative load, allowing security leaders to distribute credentials remotely.”
The 26th edition of Intersec, the world’s premier trade fair for safety, security, and fire protection, will feature AMAG Technology’s visitor management solutions in the Commercial & Perimeter section. Other notable exhibitors include Assa Abloy and IDEMIA.
The UAE, host of the event, is a leader in digital transformation, as evidenced by the widespread use of the UAE PASS digital identity platform, which boasts 5 million registered users. This commitment to digital security is a cornerstone of the UAE’s strategy to enhance and streamline access control through mobile credentials.
Grant Tuchten, Portfolio Director at Messe Frankfurt Middle East, emphasized the significance of mobile credentials, “As security leaders seek user-friendly, future-proof solutions, mobile credentials stand out as a transformative technology in access control.”
Intersec 2025 is poised to be the largest in its history, with over 1,200 exhibitors from 60 countries and an anticipated 52,000 visitors. The event will cover a range of sectors including Fire & Rescue, Safety & Health, Cyber Security, and Homeland Security & Policing, highlighting the latest in scalable and data-driven security innovations.
