Fifth Annual Security Growth Conference Captures Momentum of Security
Industry Investment
The Security Growth Conference, an event that has earned the reputation
as the premier source for middle-market business opportunities in the
dynamic security market, will be held March 6-7 at the Loews Santa
Monica Beach Hotel in Santa Monica, Calif.
Hosted by USBX Advisory Services, LLC; Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, LLP;
and CapitalSource; three leading companies in their respective
investment banking, corporate legal services and commercial finance
markets, the event brings together CEOs and senior executives of the top
independent security companies with senior executives of the largest
global security companies, along with members of the financial
community. Presenting companies provide products and services in three
distinct sectors: Physical Security, Identity Solutions and IT Security.
For the first time, Security Growth Conference’s
program will incorporate the Enterprise Network Security sector and
companies that focus on the IT security integration, consulting and
vulnerability assessment markets to reflect the importance of this
segment as part of the double-digit growth predicted for the $150
billion security sector.
“This year’s
Security Growth Conference is being held at a time of unprecedented
interest in the electronic security market by the investment community,”
said John E. Mack III, CEO of USBX Advisory Services, LLC and a founder
of the event.
“The current momentum being experienced by the
security industry, combined with a first-rate line up of presenting
companies, will make this year’s event truly
exceptional,” according to event founder
Lessing E. Gold, Partner and Chair, Corporate Department, Mitchell
Silberberg & Knupp.
Through an expanded multi-track program, attendees will hear 30-minute
presentations from 50 leading middle-market security companies whose
CEOs will discuss their business models, product development and success
strategies. In addition, the conference is the perfect forum for
high-level networking with leading security companies and other market
leaders. Past presenters include such firms as systems integrator Red
Hawk, purchased last fall by United Technologies Corp.; Intergraph, the
subject of a $1.3-billion private equity acquisition by Hellman &
Friedman and Texas Pacific Group; and other firms such as Datacard Group
and Imprivata.
"This is a premier event that brings together many leaders within the
security industry and we are excited to be a partner of the event for
the first time," added Bill Polk, Managing Director of CapitalSource's
Security Lending Group.
Making an encore performance as the event’s
keynote speaker is Frank Abagnale, one of the world’s
most respected authorities on forgery, embezzlement and secure documents
and the real-life subject of the motion picture, “Catch
Me If You Can,” based on his best-selling
book. Other featured keynote speakers include Juan Vallejo, appointed
President and CEO of Securitas Systems Worldwide in 2006, and Brett
Bontrager, President of Convergent Security for Stanley Security
Solutions, head of the team responsible for Stanley’s
$545 million acquisition of HSM Electronic Protection from GTCR Golder
Rauner, LLC in January.
A white paper compiled by USBX analysts detailing the rapid growth in
the video surveillance markets will be available at the event. This
comprehensive resource explores current market drivers in the video
market, and details the explosion in IP video hardware and the growing
traction of intelligent video technology as part of today’s
IP video solutions. Copies of the USBX Security Industry Year-End report
will also be available.
