Genetec Champions Unified Security as Catalyst for East Africa’s Development


Genetec, a global leader in physical security software, recently hosted its first security symposium in Nairobi as part of its push to strengthen its partner network and expand access to unified and intelligent security solutions across East Africa.

Held at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence Nairobi Arboretum, the exclusive forum brought together key channel partners from across the continent to discuss emerging security threats and explore how integrated, scalable systems can better protect public and private spaces in the region.

The event underscored Genetec’s commitment to supporting East Africa’s development by offering technology that not only enhances safety but also improves operational efficiency and resilience. Through its flagship Security Center as a Service platform and advanced video surveillance systems, the company showcased how a unified approach can help organizations manage both physical and cyber threats in a single ecosystem — an essential need in a region still grappling with outdated, fragmented legacy systems.

Genetec’s solutions, already deployed across various sectors, are helping decision-makers gain visibility, predict risks, and streamline operations.

The company was recently ranked the world’s leading video management system provider in the 2024 Omdia Video Surveillance & Analytics Database Report — a testament to its global scale, innovation, and reliability.

With the video surveillance as a service (VSaaS) market projected to reach US$10.7 billion by 2029, Genetec is positioning Africa as a key growth frontier.

Rapid urbanization, growing digital infrastructure, and heightened awareness of security risks are driving demand for modern, compliant technologies that can support sustainable growth across the continent.
