The study aims to analyze the current threats to airport security, evolving trends of technology innovation, acknowledged operational pain points, and identify main areas of growth opportunity for the industry across technologies and regions.
Key Features
- To evaluate the evolving threat landscape in the context of airport security operations.
- To identify key performance indicators for airport security operations.
- To develop a global threat landscape index across different types of airports (by region).
- To evaluate the current state of digitalization in airport security, and analyze the threat vectors it addresses and causes.
- To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on airport security CONOPS.
Key Issues Addressed
- What are the key airport security threats?
- What are the key performance indicators for security in airports?
- What are key risk management practices to counter the airport threats?
- What are the key attack vectors originating from digitalization of airports?
- What is the impact of COVID on airport security?
- Which technologies, existing and evolving, are likely to enable security operations at Airports?
