Dinner Speaker

• Jeff Jonas, President, Systems Research & Development

The gaming industry is being infiltrated by a new breed of criminal. Converging on the Internet, these individuals organize and share the vulnerabilities of gaming establishments world-wide. Strategies, illegal cheating devices, and collusion-based scams are being broadly disseminated to new recruits. What are these scams and how do we catch them?

Jeff Jonas is President of Systems Research & Development (SRD), a consulting practice he founded in 1984 which serves the gaming, hospitality, and consumer credit industries. Mr. Jonas collaborates with senior management to translate corporate business strategies into system and application architectures. A number of prominent gaming organizations rely on the services of SRD including Mirage Resorts, Incorporated. With respect to collusion detection, Mr. Jonas has, over the last15years, refined specific techniques of relationship detection and rule-based alerts for the security and surveillance industries. SRD's recent accomplishments include the design and development of a 2TB data warehouse engineered to support 80 million "entities" and their corresponding 1.6B transactional patterns, which receives daily feeds from over 5,000 data sources. During his speech Mr. Jonas will give actual examples of the sophisticated scams and collusion-based relationships that effect the gaming industry. This is an exciting topic that invariably captures the interest of everyone associated with the field of security.
