Theodor Makedonsky on New Technologies at Bulgarian Security Summit 2026

Taking place on October 28 and 29, 2026, at Inter Expo Center in Sofia, Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Security Summit will bring together security professionals, technology providers, system integrators, institutional representatives, and end users to discuss the technologies and strategies shaping the future of security in Southeast Europe. As the world faces growing climate, social, and economic challenges, new technologies are becoming increasingly important tools for organizations seeking to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.

In his presentation, Makedonsky will examine how technologies including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud platforms, wireless systems, and mobile applications are transforming the security industry. Their growing accessibility is enabling organizations to move beyond traditional passive surveillance toward smarter, interconnected, and more proactive protection systems operating in real time.

The session will explore how these technologies can improve situational awareness, connectivity, and responsiveness while creating new possibilities for the design and operation of modern security systems. It will also highlight the broader role technology can play in helping organizations respond to increasingly complex operational and societal challenges.

Theodor Makedonsky is the Managing Director of Alarm automatika in Bulgaria, a distributor of security and safety systems. With more than 20 years of experience in the security sector, he established Alarm automatika’s Bulgarian branch in 2014 and has since worked to introduce advanced global life-safety technologies to the local market.

EU Cyber Resilience Act Changes Cybersecurity Rules for Physical Security Systems

Suprema has highlighted the importance of the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) for the physical security industry, particularly for connected access control systems, biometric readers, and intelligent controllers, as new obligations under the regulation begin to take effect. Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 requires manufacturers to build cybersecurity into products from the design and development stages and to manage vulnerabilities and security updates throughout the entire support period.

Reporting obligations for actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe security incidents began to apply on September 11, 2026, while the CRA will become fully applicable on December 11, 2027, including requirements related to CE marking, technical documentation, and essential cybersecurity requirements. The regulation is particularly relevant to the physical security industry as biometric terminals, door controllers, and access management platforms are increasingly connected directly to corporate LANs or cloud environments. An inadequately protected connected device can therefore become an entry point for attacks on broader IT infrastructure, with the CRA shifting the focus from one-time compliance checks to continuous cybersecurity management throughout the product lifecycle.

The new framework also affects system integrators, distributors, and buyers in the European market, increasing the importance of using hardware and software that meet the required cybersecurity standards. Suprema says it is preparing for CRA compliance by strengthening the cybersecurity of its products and its vulnerability management processes throughout their lifecycle.

In line with the new regulatory framework, the company has also established a dedicated reporting channel at SPOC@supremainc.com for reporting suspected security vulnerabilities or incidents involving Suprema products.

Albania Expands Biometric Infrastructure to Digital Identity

Albania has expanded the responsibilities of the state-owned company supported by ALBTraceCo, extending its previous focus on biometric document production to digital identity systems and the protection of citizens’ sensitive data, IDTechWire reported, citing a decision by the Albanian Council of Ministers. The new mandate covers the administration and development of systems designed to protect identity and biometric data, as well as blank physical biometric documents and critical state platforms and systems.

Its responsibilities now also include electronic systems related to biometric and digital identity, electronic identification, authentication, traceability, and electronic verification. ALBTraceCo is named as the provider of the capacity and high-security technology supporting these activities, while the Ministry of the Interior, the company responsible for biometric documents, and ALBTraceCo are tasked with implementing the decision. The move brings the production of physical identity documents and the digital infrastructure used to establish, authenticate, and verify identity under the same state-controlled framework.

The expanded mandate comes as Albania develops a national digital identity system for access to public and private services and invests in specialised biometric infrastructure, including fingerprint and facial recognition capabilities. The decision will take effect following publication in Albania’s Official Gazette.
