CriticalArc will headline sponsor the Association of University Chief Security Officers (AUCSO) Annual Conference at Loughborough University on April 14 to 16, 2015. The event will feature a presentation by the University of Zurich on their introducing of SafeZone to manage threats and guard 26,000 students and staff across the Swiss city.
CriticalArc points to new customers including CQUniversity Australia, Northumbria University, University of York and the University of Zurich having all rolled out SafeZone this quarter.
Darren Chalmers-Stevens, EMEA Director at CriticalArc, said: “Since launching SafeZone in Europe last year the positive feedback has been phenomenal from both staff and students. The solution is helping universities combat a range of safety and security challenges, as well as providing the ultimate preparedness to deal with any event, from health and safety issues through to major incidents. In addition, it is providing peace of mind to prospective students and their parents, particularly those from overseas, which in turn gives universities a clear competitive advantage.”
CriticalArc also announced that it has published a whitepaper which discusses the safety and security issues faced by universities turning to 24/7 operations. The paper considers the implications for campus security and workplace health and safety. The whitepaper will be available from the CriticalArc stand at AUSCO or can be downloaded for free at http://www.criticalarc.com/resource/
