A new old approach to security? new threats, new challenges by Nina Brooks

This podcast focuses on an article, written by Nina Brooks, Director of Security, Facilitation and IT for the Airports Council International (ACI) World, discusses the evolving landscape of airport security and advocates for a more holistic, management-centric approach. The article acknowledges the emergence of new threats, such as drones and cyberattacks, alongside the growing complexity of managing security in the context of increasing passenger numbers and the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that while technological advancements are crucial for future security systems, current security measures often focus on protecting aircraft, leaving behind other areas of vulnerability. The author proposes a seven-component management approach, highlighting the importance of risk assessment, resource allocation, and continuous improvement, as a more effective way of improving security and managing risks. This management approach aims to improve overall security, cost efficiency, and customer experience while preparing for future technological developments.
