November 2025 Issue

As we move deeper into the final quarter of 2025, this issue of International Security Buyer captures the shifting priorities of the global security industry. The challenges ahead are not only technical but also strategic, cultural and operational, demanding a holistic approach from leaders and practitioners alike. 

At the centre of this edition is our Big Interview with Abdalla Hussein Alshareef Mustafa, Security Consultant for Sudan, XN Consultancy. Abdalla explores how preventive security, compliance and digital governance can reshape protection in an unpredictable landscape such as Sudan. Our Innovator profile with Thomas Dallmeier, CEO of Dallmeier electronic, explores how forward-thinking companies are redefining surveillance and analytics. 

Our cover features Videx Electronics, and their journey from Italian heritage to international presence in access control and door intercom systems.  

In our Access Control feature, we examine how access control is evolving in corporate environments, from car park to desks, illustrating how layered solutions are becoming essential to balance convenience with robust protection. This theme continues in our Feature Sponsor spotlight from HID, where the focus is on how identity management is shaping the next generation of secure workplaces. 

Data remains a critical thread throughout this issue. Our Feature Sponsor from Toshiba and Ask the Expert with Micron both tackle the question of storage and memory in surveillance, reminding us that behind every camera and sensor lies an infrastructure that must be resilient, scalable and cost-effective. 

Sector-specific features bring these themes to life. In oil & gas, we explore precise detection technologies, in intrusion detection, we chart the shift from reactive alarms to intelligent.
