Panel discussion: Joint Open Architecture Steering Group – an international open architecture collaboration
The Joint Open Architecture Steering Group (JOASG), which authored the second edition of the guidance document Open Architecture for Airport Security Systems, is an international group of regulators, airport operators and industry stakeholders collaborating to define and promote the aviation security community’s implementation of open architecture (OA). This discussion will provide insight on use cases, technical standards, demonstrations, standardization, scalability, all things data, intellectual property, T&E/certification, cybersecurity, interoperability, as well as how OA may change the future of screening operations, such as remote screening, dynamic threat screening and staffing, and extend possibilities in the search for prohibited items.

Panel discussion: Cyber in the aviation security context – defining roles and overlap
Reliance on connectivity and the internet is an increasingly critical feature of aviation security programs. Access control systems, identity management systems, CCTV camera systems, dispatch systems, notification systems and intelligence and information systems are all becoming increasingly interrelated and reliant on cyber connections. In many instances, these can be related to commercial and operational systems. As use of and reliance on cyber expands, so do attack surfaces. All this has occurred as the instances of cyberattacks are on the rise. For aviation cyber experts, there is a significant challenge in hiring and retaining cyber talent to address the current threat landscape, including scaling cyber penetration and threat mitigation practices.
