Influential tech news portal TechRadar has placed SDW 2015 in its top 10 security events to attend this year.SDW 2015 was listed second among "the 10 best cyber security events on the planet to help guide firms in the quest for watertight security". "SDW 2015 focuses on a slightly different part of the IT security landscape by handing over the floor to those in the secure document, advanced border control, identity and anti-counterfeit industry", writes TechRadar."Human identity solutions are already big business and with upwards of 1,400 visitors at the event it's an invaluable networking opportunity for those attending," it adds.Over 50 presenters will provide the latest insights into many of the industry's critically important areas at the event – from disrupting criminal networks, to performing eID transactions cross border, and from the latest in next-generation ePassports, to the creative design and secure personalisation of a raft of identity credentials."This event goes from strength-to-strength, and I would like to thank all speakers for their excellent input so far. The conference has more government speakers than ever before, as well as representation from the highest levels of industry," conference chairman and Science Media Partners founder Mark Lockie said on 13 May."The conference programme this year continues its in-depth focus on traditional document design and counter fraud, but has expanded its coverage of next-generation identity technologies. In particular, smart secure credentials, biometrics, and the rise of digital identity systems are coming to the fore."In 2014, the event achieved a record attendance of more than 1,600 visitors with 65 countries represented. It also welcomed more than 350 conference attendees, 250 government attendees (from 30 nations) almost 50 expert presenters and 105 exhibitors.
