Vertical Insights: Public Transportation Security Symposium

About 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.

As ridership on public transportation continues to recover following a severe drop during the pandemic, security remains a persistent, and growing, challenge. Transit systems across the United States must protect millions of riders and billions of dollars in vehicles and infrastructure every day from criminals, vandals and even terrorists. This symposium will take a closer look at how transit operators and security industry vendors can work together to protect riders on public transportation.
