Turning Challenges into Opportunities: Achieving More with Less

In a time of crisis, the priority for everyone is to work smarter and make sure that what we have in place is the most appropriate, efficient and cost-effective it can be. Aviation security is no different. Now more than ever, we must find the best strategy to remove unnecessary, redundant measures while making sure we deliver high-quality security.

We can maximize efficiency by implementing a threat based, risk managed approach, using frameworks such as Security Management Systems. We can take a one-stop approach to security, ensuring that duplicative measures are removed. We can work together with all of our stakeholders to tackle industry issues. We can put technology to its best use to reduce costs and find new solutions. And we can find ways to achieve more with less: freeing up some of the resources we are wasting today.
So how can we make sure they are happening at an airport near you?

AVSEC World 2009 will gather key security experts from governments, airlines and airports to set an agenda that will help us survive today – and build tomorrow.
