The Who’s Who of Regional Security Converge at the Asia International Security Summit & Expo 2024 (AISSE’24)

In an increasingly globalised and interconnected world, national security threats need to be tackled in a bilateral and multilateral manner. As crimes such as terrorism, extremism, trafficking and cyberattacks transcend national borders, so too must efforts to counter that.

From 8 to 10 October 2024, the international who’s who of the security sector will gather at
Putrajaya International Convention Centre in Malaysia. Comprising law enforcement and public security decision makers, government officials, technical experts and professionals, they will be participating in the Asia International Security Summit & Expo 2024 (AISSE’24).

Hosted by the Ministry of Home Affairs Malaysia and the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP), and organised by Alpine Integrated Solution (AIS) and Koperasi Polis DiRaja Malaysia Berhad (Royal Malaysia Police Cooperative), AISSE’24 is set to be the region’s most prominent security event.

The soft launch of AISSE’24 was officiated on 11 March 2024 at the Royal Malaysia Police College in Kuala Lumpur by Malaysia’s Minister of Home Affairs the Honourable Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and the Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain. This was during the PDRM Special Dialogue I session held in conjunction with the 217th Police Day.

What To Expect at AISSE’24

All in all, more than 100 security organisations, 1,000 plus conference delegates, 50 VIP delegations and over 5,000 visitors from more than 20 participating countries are expected to be at this 3-day event. Expected VIP visitors include Home and Interior Ministers as well as police chiefs and high-ranking officials from the Asia-Pacific and Middle East, including host nation Malaysia.

AISSE’24 aims to be the one-stop event for the discussion of challenges, solutions, priorities, technologies and techniques to tackle national security issues. Key happenings include panel discussions, conferences, forums, presentations by technical experts, business-to-business matching and a Roundtable hosted by the Minister of Home Affairs Malaysia and the Inspector General of Police.

In addition, the event is being held alongside the CyberCrime Prevention Summit Malaysia which is running concurrently on the same days and which is supported by the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) of Malaysia.

Those seeking the latest products and solutions to security or who are looking to form partnerships with suppliers or buyers will be glad to know that a trade exhibition is also part of AISSE’24. The trade expo will bring together 200 exhibitors comprising industry leaders in the security sector including forensics, biometrics, arms, personal equipment, ICT, traffic management, documentation, vehicle technology and more.

AIS, the organisers of AISSE’24, are no strangers to the international security sector, having successfully organised events such as the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2023 and CYDES – the integrated cyber defence, cyber security, and emerging technology event.

As part of their bid to market and publicise of AISSE’24 as well as to support Malaysia’s security industry players, AIS led the Malaysia Pavilion at MILIPOL Asia-Pacific 2024, which is being held in Singapore from 3 to 5 April.

As part of the Malaysian delegation, several senior officers from the RMP including Commissioner of Police (CP) Dato’ Sri Mohd Kamarudin bin Md Din – Director of Internal Security and Public Order (ISPO). CP Dato’ Sri Mohd Shuhaily bin Mohd Zain – Director of Criminal Investigation Department (CID), CP Dato’ Khaw Kok Chin – Director of Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID), and Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Dato’ Rohaimi bin Md Isa – Deputy Director (Investigation) Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) conducted a tour of the exhibition at MILIPOL.

“We would like to invite visitors at MILIPOL Asia-Pacific to visit our booth, numbered 1510, where they can find out how they can reach out to a wider segment of the Asian security industry, government officials and decision makers at AISSE’24. We are confident that the inaugural AISSE will get the ball rolling for the event to be recognised as Asia’s premier national security conference and exhibition,” reveals AIS Group Managing Director Anita Jacobson.
