SIRA is committed to providing Dubai with the highest levels of safety and security through the implementation of international best practices in smart security systems, services, and guards. Against this backdrop, the SIRA Forum will be back at Intersec 2026, and providing a platform for the global commercial security community to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and collaborate for a sustainable, safer, smarter, and more connected world.
