This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine highlights the importance of Security Management Systems (SeMS) in post-pandemic aviation security. It argues that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing security threats in aviation, particularly those stemming from terrorism, cybercrime, and insider threats. The podcast proposes that a robust SeMS framework can effectively mitigate these threats by providing a comprehensive approach to risk management, incident response, and performance management. The commentators contend that a successful SeMS requires leadership commitment, clear accountability, and a culture that prioritizes communication and continuous improvement. Ultimately, the commentators believe that implementing SeMS will not only enhance aviation security but also improve organisational resilience in the face of future crises.
