The ISC East keynote speaker was former New York City mayor, Rudy Giuliani, who always reminds this native New Yorker of those fearful, fateful days surrounding 9/11, when the whole world had a bittersweet, renewed focus on all things security – where a newfound priority swept the nation in our search to secure not only the U.S. homeland, but individual households and businesses.
Giuliani spoke eloquently and impassioned as he recounted those times, the current state of the nation, and its improved security measures now in place and those still needed. I couldn’t help but feel proud to be a part of the industry that the entire country turned to, to regain peace-of-mind, an increasingly valuable commodity in these turbulent economic times.
