Our Prevention Campaign
Get ready to discover Paris!
We understand that tourists who love Paris, want to express their romantic attachment by putting padlocks on the infrastructures. Their intention is cute but naive. The weight of thousands padlocks can cause accidents. Security barriers can collapse: it happened on the Pont-des-Arts.
In 2024, Paris will host the Olympic Games. An international event that requires to secure critical infrastructures. We decided to explain security threats with a cultural challenge during Touch Symposium.
We will gather a community of security professionals who share a passion: lockpicking.
We invite them to join our initiative next year. They will discover Paris, while enjoying their hobby, and do prevention among tourists. Their goal: unlock padlocks and explain what is lockpicking to people.
