Vertical Insights is a series of virtual events presented by the Security Industry Association (SIA) and focused on top vertical markets. This series is designed to bring together practitioners, security integrators, solution providers, consultants and others involved in protecting key sectors.

Casinos are long-time users of security technology, with personnel famously monitoring the gaming floor for decades via the “eye in the sky.” Advances in technology have brought both new threats, including hacking and high-tech cheating, as well as new countermeasures, such as analytics and automation, all while legal gambling has expanded beyond Las Vegas and Atlantic City to reach nearly every state in America.

This symposium will examine how physical and cyber solutions protect the high-stakes world of casinos in several sessions, including a keynote presentation by George Jenkot, vice president of security and surveillance at Firekeepers Casino in Battle Creek, Michigan.
