“Industrial Security for Businesses in Ruse” Focused on Real Risks, Integrated Solutions, and Applicable Models
On 18 March 2026, the Ruse Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), in partnership with VIP Security, held the in-person event “Industrial Security for Businesses in Ruse: Integrated Solutions and Real-World Cases.” The format was designed for representatives of manufacturing, logistics, and commercial companies from Ruse and the region, with a clear focus on practical models for risk assessment, the combination of physical guarding and electronic systems, as well as the organisation of monitoring and response in a real operational environment.
An expert perspective from VIP Security
In the expert part of the programme, VIP Security presented an integrated approach to industrial security, treating it not as a set of separate measures but as a system in which physical guarding, control procedures, electronic systems, and incident management need to work in sync. The company positioned the topic in the context of industrial facilities, logistics bases, and environments with an intensive flow of people, materials, and external contractors.
Speakers on behalf of the event partner were Nikolay Manuilov, Director of Physical Guarding, and Krasimir Borisov, Director of Electronic Security Systems. In their presentation, they outlined typical weaknesses in security organisation, the importance of proper risk assessment, and the need for solutions to be aligned with the specific profile of each site rather than implemented in a fragmented manner.
A practical discussion with the business community
A key highlight of the programme was the panel discussion dedicated to industrial security in practice. It featured representatives of companies from RCCI’s business network, including Steiner Elektronik EOOD, FAAC Bulgaria EAD and NRJ Soft EOOD. The discussion focused on real situations from manufacturing, warehousing, and technology environments, where topics such as access control, protection of critical zones, movement of external persons, traceability, and incident response are directly relevant to business continuity.
The panel format made it possible to bring together two perspectives: the expert view of a provider of integrated security solutions and the practical perspective of companies that manage facilities, assets, teams, and processes on a daily basis. This was precisely what made the discussion particularly valuable for those attending the event.
From security as a cost to security as a management tool
One of the key conclusions of the event was that security is increasingly viewed not only as a protective function but also as part of overall risk and operations management. For companies, this means better traceability, clearer control over critical points, improved coordination between people and systems, and greater predictability in a dynamic working environment.
The event also highlighted specific benefits for businesses, including a better understanding of the connection between physical measures and technological solutions, guidance on how to prioritise measures according to the type of site, and opportunities to reduce losses and incidents through a more integrated management model.
Continuing with a practical focus
The event confirmed the interest of the regional business community in formats that go beyond general information and instead provide practice-oriented discussion, opportunities for questions, and the exchange of real experience. In this context, the informal networking part of the programme allowed discussions to continue beyond the official agenda.
The Ruse Chamber of Commerce and Industry will continue to develop initiatives and partnerships that support companies in the region through access to expertise, practical solutions, and current topics of direct relevance to their resilience and competitiveness.
