Drones & Marina Security Webinar, 26 September, 2:00pm AEDT

Security in marinas and ports is crucial for safeguarding assets and activities. An upcoming webinar will focus on the importance of drone regulations and security. It will emphasise the need for monitoring and enforcing regulations to deter malicious activities. Drones are valuable for surveillance and emergency response, but their unregulated use poses risks. The webinar aims to address the balance between innovation and security in port and marina operations.
