Panel discussion: Smart security – a collaboration between airports, governments and airlines

The Smart Security Management Group (SSMG) is an international group of regulators, airport operators and government stakeholders who collaborate to drive innovation through aviation security screening technologies and processes, with the aim of raising standards across the globe. This discussion will illustrate the benefits of a multilateral collaborative approach, and provide insight into the outputs and positive impacts that smart security has already delivered across the industry.

The audience will learn:

• What is smart security and why I should care?
• As an airport operator, how does smart security benefit me?
• How has the implementation of smart security impacted security screening?
• What is the focus for smart security over the next 10-15 years?
• How do I involve myself in the evolution of smart security as a regulator, airport operator or government agency?
