  • WORKSHOP A: Tactical Risk Assessment of People: Behavioural analysis techniques to identify those with negative intent

    Wednesday 31st July 2019 5:30pm – 8:30pm

    Now a recommended practice within Annex 17, behavioural analysis is regarded as an important element of the security web that protects airports and airlines from acts of unlawful interference. The motivation to deploy the techniques may be counterterrorism-focussed, but by utilising non-racial profiling the aviation industry can also identify and address other criminal activities – from human trafficking to unruly passengers, and from incorrectly documented passengers to insider threats. Philip Baum will be explaining how T.R.A.P. (Tactical Risk Assessment of People) can enhance your security regime without having a negative impact on passenger throughput or experience.

    • Case studies justifying the use of behavioural analysis
    • Strategies for performing behavioural analysis on the move and without causing delays

  • WORKSHOP B: Cybersecurity for airport executives: Effective management of a cybersecurity program

    Thursday 1st August 2019, 9:00am – 5:00pm

    Effective management of a cybersecurity program goes well beyond the technology aspects of hardware and software. A resilient cybersecurity environment begins with a holistic organisational approach to technology governance, priority setting and understanding the risks an organisation faces, well before any technology is acquired. Establishing a “culture of security” within one’s organisation begins at the top and extends to every employee and stakeholder.

    This workshop will cover all of the basics in developing a successful cybersecurity program and will provide concrete examples on the pitfalls and challenges that will be faced along the way. It will provide a checklist of cybersecurity best practices that every organisation should ensure is present in their environment.

    From management oversight to system patching and computer forensics, this workshop covers all the essentials in a non-technical manner, providing a common ground between the management team and the IT Department. This course is also valuable for IT professionals who are looking to give themselves better insight on how to work with their management team.
