Panel discussion: Security through the eyes of your adversary
Over the last 10 years, governments and companies have embraced adversary-based testing as the gold standard for understanding the efficacy of security systems. This helps identify vulnerabilities and make meaningful improvements before an actual attacker shows up. This panel will discuss the various approaches to adversary-based security testing to understand the effectiveness of aviation security systems and will examine how Red Team testing in aviation security differs based on whether it is done by commercial entities (security firms, airlines, airports) or government agencies. Lastly, the panel will discuss statistical models that can help improve granularity and drive targeted system improvements.
The audience will learn:
- Various ways covert testing can be used to understand the state of security systems in a real-world application
- How you can scale covert testing programs based on budget, manpower and objectives
- How to use the results of that testing to drive improvements in your security systems
