Critical Infrastructure, a pioneering provider of advanced locking and access management solutions, will showcase its new CI Series line of key cabinets at GSX 2023 in booth 2941 as part of its expanding Critical Infrastructure Protection portfolio.

The Global Security Exchange show takes place September 11-13 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Centre in Dallas.

Physical security risks

In industries such as water, power & energy, and oil & gas, government agencies and industry groups are developing standards to help support preparedness of the nation’s critical infrastructure. The North American Energy Reliability Corporation (NERC), for example, has created a set of requirements designed to secure the assets required for operating North America's bulk electric system, which would require utilities with critical assets to take steps to address physical security risks and vulnerabilities.

This is precisely where ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions is taking security and efficiency to a new level. Integrated solutions will help operators secure access and provide audit trails on locking hardware and keys within their security perimeters.
