INTERPOL World 2017 to Showcase the Latest Innovations for Future Security Challenges

SINGAPORE, 8 June 2017 – The stage is set for INTERPOL World
2017 as it readies to welcome over 10,000 law enforcement agencies, government
bodies, academia, solution providers, security professionals, and buyers from
around the globe.

In its second edition this year, INTERPOL World, comprising the
INTERPOL World Congress and Exhibition, promises an immersive experience
covering the latest innovations, best practices, and thought leadership aimed
at accelerating timely and accurate responses to future global security
challenges.

Delegates will get to experience the latest access control and
identity management technologies. NEC Corporation’s facial recognition
technology, NeoFace®, together with Zoom Tech’s ZOOMGATE, will be deployed at
the entrance to the INTERPOL World Congress.

When integrated, the technologies allow for swift and accurate
authentication for a seamless and secure entry into the Congress. Delegates’
facial images will be captured and matched against the pre-enrolled face images
in the database right at the entrance gate, as part of NEC Corporation’s
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).

“NeoFace®, the world’s most accurate and fastest face
recognition software[1], will provide an
immersive experience for delegates at the INTERPOL World 2017 Congress,
demonstrating the potential of biometric technologies in security and access
control,” Mr Tan Boon Chin, Managing Director of Global Safety Division, NEC
Corporation said.

“ZOOMGATE’s integrable firmware presents state-of-the-art
seamless identification and controlled operations enhanced access control,
which can greatly improve not just building security but also large-scale
events such as INTERPOL WORLD 2017,” Mr Andy Liang, Zoom Tech Pte Ltd.

INTERPOL World 2017 Exhibition will feature the latest array of
solutions for public safety, identity management, biometrics, forensics,
investigations and cybercrime.

Identity theft incidents are escalating, raising interests in
more secure authentication technologies that utilise unique human
characteristics for credentials. Sierra Solutions will be showcasing EyeLock
Nano NXT, an iris-based biometric technology that authenticates people
in-motion and at-a-distance with unparalleled accuracy.

Another constant challenge for law enforcement is in securing
and managing borders. SICPA’s EXTENS® SmartStamp is a machine-readable travel
stamp that combines material and digital technologies to contain both static
and dynamic data about travellers and their trips, thus allowing border control
authorities to immediately access previously unattainable data.

The use of robots in law enforcement is also gaining traction
and the worldwide market for law enforcement robots is estimated to reach USD
5.7 billion by 2022, an increase from USD 1 billion in 2015[2]. Oneberry’s
RoboGuard™ is an innovative security deterrent that combines intelligent
surveillance cameras equipped with video analytics and alarm triggers, with
robust hardware to support proactive remote monitoring.

In all, over 200 companies from 30 countries and regions will be
showcasing solutions at the Exhibition, underlining INTERPOL World’s position
as the platform to foster innovation for future security challenges.

Participants can explore mutually beneficial collaborations and
broaden their networks through a value-added business matching service, which
allows them to pre-schedule meetings to maximize their time at the event.

Complementing the products and solutions showcased on the
exhibition floor, the INTERPOL World Theatres is a carefully curated programme
featuring seminar and workshop sessions that lend practical technical insights to address current
and emerging security issues. Solution providers and subject experts will share
the latest industry trends and exclusive case studies to help professionals
keep up to date with the rapidly evolving industry.

Two theatres will feature sessions on mobile biometrics, AI,
machine learning, IoT botnets, audit CCTV, data centre security, digital
forensics and more; led by subject experts such as Arbor Networks, Cellebrite,
Cross Border Research Association (CBRA), Data Centre Dynamics, EC-Council
Group, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle, SecureAge Technology, Sierra Solutions
and TNO, among others. The full programme is available online at www.interpol-world.com/interpol-world-theatres.

Cybersecurity was initially the sole concern of CISOs and CIOs
but CEOs and board members have now taken a vested interest and responsibility
in their organisations’ security. Recognising the need to impart knowledge to
the boards and C-suite executives, KPMG and IEEE will be running a half-day
workshop across two days (5-6 July)
to educate them on cybersecurity. ECU and IEEE will also be conducting a
session on Forensics Computing on 6 July while
CCTP will put together a session on threat mitigation and predictive profiling.

INTERPOL World 2017 will host eight national groups from France,
Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea (Rep. of), Singapore, Switzerland, and the United
States as well as delegation groups from Australia, Bhutan, France, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria and the Philippines, among others, signifying a
strong global interest in the shared conversation to combat future crime.

Lending expertise in shaping the Congress agenda, S. Rajaratnam
School of International Studies (RSIS), together with INTERPOL, has curated a
programme discussing key issues in today’s security landscape. Broad-stroke
macro dialogues, are supplemented with case studies and operational
perspectives by solution providers to shape a robust, all-rounded programme for
delegates. The
Congress will address pressing concerns via three dedicated tracks – Cybercrime
(4 July), Safe Cities (5 July) and Identity Management (6 July).

INTERPOL World 2017 is owned by INTERPOL and supported by
Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs, the World Economic Forum (WEF), Singapore
Exhibition & Convention Bureau, ASEANAPOL, Europol and Gulf Cooperation
Council Police (GCCPOL), as well as leading trade organizations such as Asian
Professional Security Association, Association of Information Security
Professionals, the International Association for Counterterrorism and Security
Professionals (IACSP), International Aviation Security Association (IASA), and
the International Organization for Migration (IOM), among others.

INTERPOL World 2017 Congress will be held from 4 to 6 July, alongside the INTERPOL
World Exhibition, which will take place from 5 to 7 July. For more information,
