Finland – ECA engages with safety and security during conference at Casino Helsinki
By Phil - 15 April 2019
The European Casino Association (ECA) held its first-ever Safety & Security Conference at Veikkaus Casino Helsinki in early April.
The conference combined the expertise of members, partners and external experts. The mix of presentations and workshops focused on physical safety & security, as well as cybersecurity in a modern land-based casino environment. Identifying the key prevention measures for the industry and sharing of first hand experiences and best practices where at the centre of the discussion and networking throughout the event.
Topics on the agenda were international cooperation, payment safety, fraud prevention, international standards certification, as well as trends and legal aspects of cybersecurity. The conference follows a workshop held in 2018 at Casino 2OOO in Luxembourg, which kick-started the activities that will now become a regular feature for the coming years.
It brought the ECA and its members to the forefront of the latest research and practical application in the area, which are crucial for employees, customers and other stakeholders of the industry. It also follows the association’s three-year strategy that includes the key objective of providing thought leadership, exchange and development of best practices on key issues for the industry. Besides safety and security, this also includes Anti-Money Laundering, Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity & Inclusion.
