RegisterAbout the Webinar
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.
Airports are complex, high-traffic environments that serve as critical infrastructure for global travel and commerce. They face evolving physical and cyber threats while also balancing regulatory requirements, operational efficiency and a seamless passenger experience, along with a high expectation of safety and security.
Security technologies play a vital role in protecting passengers, employees and assets, while supporting resilience and compliance. This symposium will explore emerging risks, innovative solutions and best practices that strengthen airport security and enhance operational performance to keep the aviation ecosystem safe and secure.
This symposium will be followed by a 30-minute presentation (2:30–3:00 pm. EDT) from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This presentation will discuss TSA Gold+, a new public-private partnership opportunity aimed at modernizing aviation security technology at select airports across the United States. By enabling direct investment, TSA Gold+ unlocks new revenue streams, empowers local decision making and accelerates the deployment of cutting-edge solutions nationwide.
