Now landing through letterboxes and in digital format into email in-boxes is the August 2025 edition of Professional Security Magazine. We’re beginning another multi-month series of features on business crime and partnership working to combat theft and other threats.
In the next few months, we will feature business crime partnerships at work across the country; first, we report from City University London criminologist Prof Emmeline Taylor’s conference that brought together private and public sector. We continue where we left off last month about table-top exercises; last month, we covered what they do in London’s West End; this time, from the Infosecurity Europe show in London Docklands, we report on an exercise with a cyber and physical world flavour, and a scenario centred on a utility.
Also featured are quantum computing, ransomware, careers, public space CCTV surveillance, and the international, diplomatic side to Labour’s emerging counter-fraud strategy. Plus the regulars – Roy Cooper’s page of gossip about and for installers, manufacturers and distributors of products and services; four pages of ‘spending the budget’ and the calendar of events.
And talking of events, July saw the latest in the magazine’s Security TWENTY free to attend shows, at the home of Manchester United Football Club. Repeating a feature of the last ST event of 2024 at Heathrow, we ran talks by exhibitors; and offer you a digest. The next show, ST25 Birmingham, runs on Thursday, September 4, at Edgbaston Cricket Ground.
If you’d like to read more, visit the ‘magazine‘ part of the website, or email [email protected] with your postal address and request a taster copy of the magazine. Subscription starts at £40 a year.

September’s edition is due to feature one town’s enforcement officers, guarding and police collaborating on ‘integrated policing’, how campuses are readying themselves to protect freshers at universities, and artificial intelligence.
