Intersec Saudi Arabia 2025 concludes today at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center (RICEC). This year’s edition has been the largest to date, featuring powerful discussions on regional security challenges and exhibitions from over 400 global companies.
The Future Security Summit, powered by ASIS International – Dhahran Chapter, focused on critical security issues under the theme “Beyond Borders: Regional and Global Security Cooperation in a Shifting Geopolitical Climate.” Senior representatives from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Naif Arab University, and the National Security Services Company discussed the growing need for cross-border intelligence sharing and coordinated responses to maritime threats, Red Sea stability, disaster risk management, and transnational crime.
The speakers explained that in today’s landscape, borders should be viewed as dynamic nodes within a broader intelligence framework. This perspective improves the capability to disrupt organised crime and trafficking.
Additionally, industry leaders addressed the unique security demands of Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects. Discussions focused on how mega-developments like NEOM, Qiddiya, and the Red Sea Project require specialised security frameworks that incorporate sustainability, advanced technologies, and a resilient infrastructure.
Experts from the King Salman Park Foundation and Red Sea Global ended with an important suggestion: the integration of security governance from the project’s beginning, noting that AI, drones, facial recognition, and automation will be essential for protecting the Kingdom’s future cities.
