CLD, the world’s leading platform for security technology, presented itself at Intersec Dubai. The trade fair brings together international decision-makers responsible for protecting critical infrastructure such as energy suppliers, data centres, transport hubs and government institutions. In view of increasing threats from digital and physical risks, CLD offered solutions specifically designed for environments where security cannot be compromised.
Unified strength: CLD and Cova
Following last year’s presentation under the Cova brand, CLD appeared as a unified brand for the first time in Dubai. The expertise and portfolios of both brands were merged, meaning that proven systems such as the Cova HVM range are now part of the CLD portfolio. Visitors were able to gain a comprehensive overview of the combined product range and engineering expertise.
Protection of critical infrastructure
CLD is showcasing certified perimeter systems for high-security locations at Intersec 2026. The LPS 1175 Issue 8-certified solutions offer attack protection from A1/SR1 to D10/SR4 and form the first line of defence for operators of critical infrastructure.
Features include:
- Sturdy 358 mesh fences
- Double-walled constructions
- Anti-climb architecture
- Controlled delay in the event of targeted attacks
These systems ensure the continuous operability of utility networks, industrial facilities and sensitive government sites worldwide.
Security solutions for data centres
CLD demonstrated how physical security barriers protect high-value data centres. Certified fences with verifiable delay times can be seamlessly integrated into access control, video surveillance and intrusion detection systems. The trade fair provided an opportunity to examine solutions for Tier III and Tier IV data centres that require maximum perimeter resilience.
Tailor-made solutions for utilities and energy networks
CLD provides industry-specific solutions, particularly in the utilities sector, such as substations, water treatment plants and renewable energy projects:
- Non-conductive GRP systems for electrical environments
- High-delay metal fences for exposed or isolated locations
- Quick-to-install systems for temporary security requirements
At Intersec, trade visitors were able to see the systems in action and talk to CLD specialists about new project requirements.
Practical examples from global projects
Specific examples of use were shown at the exhibition stand, including the Cova SpeedMaster 40 gate at the Embassy of Brunei in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. The bi-folding, crash-tested gate protects against vehicle-based threats and demonstrates the performance of CLD systems at highly sensitive government locations.
Intersec 2026 provided CLD with a platform to highlight its leading role in protecting critical infrastructure and to inform international customers about proven security solutions.
