RegisterAbout the Event
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.
Lodging properties and casinos remain attractive targets for malicious actors, both physically and in the cyber realm. At the same time, these environments demand open, welcoming experiences for guests, creating a complex balance between safety, hospitality, and operational efficiency. Modern security systems play a critical role not only in protecting guests and staff, but also in enhancing guest experience and streamlining day-to-day operations.
This symposium will examine how integrated physical security and cybersecurity solutions can help mitigate threats and risk while supporting business objectives. Industry experts will discuss best practices, emerging technologies and real-world use cases, offering actionable insights for security leaders operating in these high-traffic, high-value environments.
