Purchasers of security – of services and technologies – have sometimes lamented the lack of innovation of the security sector. Either purchasers are unrealistic, and/or the security sector is moribund of good ideas, and/or there are misconceptions about what it is realistic to expect from security innovation. Then there are claims that progress towards innovation is dogged by a lack of collaboration, and/or by a lack of investment. While others point to a range of impressive breakthrough in a diverse range of areas and invite us to look more carefully and be prepared to be impressed. How, if at all, has Covid-19 changed the focus and interest in innovation? This webinar will explore these issues in more detail. Topics to be discussed include:

What different approaches exist towards security innovation?
Where can we look to for the new ideas and the evolving good practices?
What are the prospects for innovation in a post Covid-19 world?
