There was a very good turnout with many Security Practitioners from the Industry from both the Cities of George Town Island and Seberang Perai. It was interesting also that the Opening Speech was delivered via a live Dial-In from the United States by Mr. Tim Riggs, Vice-President of Physical Security, DELL Security and Resiliency Office. Kudos to OSAC KL and MCPF Penang / Barat Daya DLC for carrying on the torch of ensuring each and every OSAC Security Symposium held in our State has been a success.
