International. According to Christine Murphy Peck, ASIS International's Director of Global Learning, in a rapidly evolving world, security professionals face a variety of daunting threats across both physical and digital domains.

"As frontline advocates against these hazards, safety experts must continually improve their skills, knowledge, and capabilities to effectively neutralize these hazards. Mastering cutting-edge techniques, gaining a deep understanding of emerging threats, and developing robust strategies are crucial to building a truly resilient enterprise, capable of withstanding and overcoming the complex challenges of the modern security landscape."
As threats continue to increase in the physical and digital domains, the world's best security professionals must come together. And indeed, they will meet at GSX 2024, a major event taking place September 23-25 in Orlando, Florida.
