CLEVELAND, OH - November 5, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Over 200 security industry investors and executives, representing half of the one hundred and twenty billion dollar security industry, converged in New York City on October 13th & 14th for the 9th Annual Securing New Ground(TM) Conference (www.SecuringNewGround.com). The conference is recognized as the premiere security networking event bringing high-level industry leaders together with investors to cultivate new business relationships.
