The Electronic Security Expo (ESX) Virtual Experience, presented by the Electronic Security Association (ESA), will be held on June 15-17, featuring keynotes and 24 sessions with learning opportunities.

James Gagliano is a retired FBI supervisory special agent, CNN law enforcement analyst, doctoral candidate and adjunct assistant professor at St. John’s University. He will present the day two keynote, “21st Century Best Practices: Reporting from the Front Lines on How Law Enforcement and the Security Industry are Confronting Emerging Threats.” ISC East eNews spoke with Gagliano ahead of the show to find out what he plans to talk about and what he hopes attendees will take away from his keynote.

In today’s intelligence-driven world, it’s no surprise that the security industry is evolving — and much of the change comes from the influence of information technology. As IT becomes a greater force in the world of security, it is paramount that security integrators and end users understand how IT innovations have a direct impact on security deployments. When knowledgeable about both functions, stakeholders solidify the chance to adopt a modern approach that will be valuable far into the future.

ISC East ’18 is here, and while everyone is buzzing about featured areas and cocktail parties, it’s important to make time for professional development, education and peer2peer knowledge sharing. Whether you want to learn about a new product, participate in a hands-on workshop or even earn some relevant continuing education credits, you’ll find what you’re looking for at this year’s education program.
