The Forum is supported by:

The Russian Security Council, the Ministry of Civil Defense, Emergencies, and Natural Calamities, the Office of the Envoy Plenipotentiary of the Russian President in the Northwest Federal District, and St. Petersburg City Hall.

The key event held within the framework of the Forum is The International Exhibition "Sfitex". Sfitex is an ideal showcase for the latest  achievements on the security and safety market. This exhibition demonstrates the most advanced developments that were produced during the year and will be put on the market in the off-the-shelf products.  "Sfitex" includes three main specialized exhibitions:

- "Technical means for guaranteeing security";

- "Systems and means of providing Fire safety. Means of Emergency and Rescue";

- "Systems and Means for information security and special technical means".

In 2008 new exposition called "Transport Security & traffic safety" will be added to well-known subdivisions of Sfitex.

Among participants there are not only Russian companies but also exhibitors from USA, Great Britain, Spain, Australia, Austria, Italy, Japan...

In 2007 about 20 000 people from 156 Russian cities and 31 countries of the world visited Sfitex 2007, among them specialists in the security sphere and directors of the big companies predominated.

Visitors and participants of Sfitex take an active part in the extensive business program (about 40 events), which includes the scientific-and-practical conference "SECURITY OF THE BIG CITY", technical seminars, presentations and meetings with representatives of foreign  companies, etc.
