It will take a thief to be the keynote speaker at this
year’s International Security Conference (ISC) East. Ex-con
Jon Douglas Rainey, co-host of television’s “It Takes a
Thief,” and the show’s security consultant, ASSA ABLOY’s
Frank Santamorena, will open up this year’s ISC East in New
York.
Rainey and Santamorena will present common home invasion
misconceptions and best security practices during their
keynote, to take place at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 24 at the ISC
East host site, the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
Santamorena, a Physical Security Professional (PSP) with
ASSA ABLOY Americas Integrated Solutions Specialist Program
(ISS Team), has been the prime security consultant for all
40 episodes of the television series and has been
responsible for organizing the electronic security
solutions that have been presented on the show.
The popular Discovery Channel series focuses on Rainey and
fellow ex-con Matt Johnston performing a simulated break-in
of a residence and finding a home’s security holes. The
family is then provided with security fixes that sometimes
include the installation of an electronic security system.
