Presentation/panel discussion to be announced

Panel discussion: Securing the skies – exploring current and future security practices

Panel discussion: Passing the test – strategies for measuring and evaluating aviation security

The growing availability of technological solutions to support security operations presents aviation security professionals and their organizations with a dizzying array of choices. The speed at which technology to support security operations is developing and using the internet to link solutions places significant pressure on airports and airlines in the selection of technology. Independent third-party evaluations of technology and standards development programs offer a path forward for preparing specifications to select technology and evaluating its function before making procurement decisions. This panel of airport and airline personnel and professionals from independent third-party organizations will evaluate these programs.

The audience will learn:

• Understanding through case studies how airports have built programs for developing specifications and evaluating emerging technologies
• Understanding the value of third-party standards development programs like RTCA to assist airports and airlines with standards for aviation
• Understanding the value of third-party standards testing programs offered to help airports evaluate
• Understanding how to access resources for developing specifications and evaluating security technologies

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

Panel discussion: Cyber in the aviation security context – defining roles and overlap

The edge of now

Panel discussion: Private wireless: – hype or revolution?

This panel discussion dives into the reality of private wireless networks, separating hype from genuine revolution. Industry experts will debate their true potential, examining real-world applications within the aviation ecosystem. Attendees will gain insights into the benefits and challenges while exploring the long-term implications for connected airports and the Internet of Things.
