Genetec, the global leader in enterprise physical security software, hosted its inaugural security symposium as part of its regional strategy to consolidate its partners’ network and streamline access to unified, intelligent, and sector-specific security solutions across East Africa.
Held in the beautiful Radisson Blu Hotel & Residence Nairobi Arboretum, the exclusive forum brought together key channel partners from Africa to explore emerging physical security challenges and demonstrate how integrated security can ultimately power safer, smarter, and more resilient organizations and public spaces. The symposium reinforced the commitment by Genetec to support East Africa’s economic growth through technology that protects the everyday while enabling operational efficiency and long-term scalability.
From its flagship Security Center as a Service platform to advanced video surveillance, Genetec demonstrated how its unified architecture helps organizations manage physical and cyber threats in a single ecosystem – an approach that’s resonating across sectors in the region where fragmented legacy systems can no longer match the pace or complexity of modern risk environments.

Across these sectors, Genetec solutions are not only safeguarding spaces but also enabling decision-makers tounderstand, predict, and optimize operations.
According to the 2024 Omdia Video Surveillance & Analytics Database Report, Genetec retained its position as the world’s leading video management system provider — a recognition of its scale, innovation, and reliability across global markets.
And as the VSaaS market surges toward US$10.7 billion by 2029 — driven by a 16.1% compound annual growth rate — Genetec is positioning Africa as a vital growth frontier. The continent’s rapid urbanization, expanding digital infrastructure, and increased security awareness are aligning to create demand for secure, scalable, and compliant technologies.
