Gallagher Security Middle East is amid an exciting phase of growth and transformation. At Intersec 2025, CEO Bilal Chehime shared his vision for the company’s evolving regional strategy. “We have a new strategy of going to market and increasing our market share,” Chehime explains. “We’re opening a new office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and we’ve hired a new regional director in Dubai to strengthen our presence in the Middle East further.” This marks a significant expansion for the company, which is increasingly focusing on broadening its footprint in key markets.
Innovative Integration for Smart and Safe Cities
Gallagher’s dedication to supporting smart city initiatives is evident in its recent partnerships and integrations. The company has teamed up with Moro Hub, a leading player in the market, to offer an integrated security solution through the Integrated Physical Security Platform (IPSP). “We’ve seamlessly integrated with them.
Cybersecurity at the Heart
In 2023, Gallagher launched the multi award-winning Controller 7000 (C7000), laying the groundwork for the new age of cybersecurity.
The C7000 represents a new generation of Gallagher Security technology, capable of managing all localized access control, intruder alarms, perimeter security, business automation, and logic needs for organizations.
Offering streamlined upgrades and advanced cybersecurity, the C7000 features enhanced hardware and cybersecurity baked in from inception. A powerful iMX8 System-on chip and an NXP Edgelock secure element ensure a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and guarantee software authenticity on each device. With a ten times more powerful microprocessor, the C7000 executes access decisions twenty-five times faster, resyncing the cardholder database in half the time.
Security Management System
Gone are the days of simply managing access control systems. Gallagher has evolved its product offerings into a comprehensive security management system, designed to integrate multiple technologies into a single platform. The C7000 with its flexibility and scalability, plays a key role in this shift. “We’re not just about access control. We develop solutions that provide a complete security management system,” Chehime explains. This holistic approach ensures that Gallagher’s solutions are adaptable, scalable, and capable of meeting the ever-growing security demands across various sectors.
