How the Largest Airports Address Integrated Security

As hubs for global commerce and travel, airports are operational 24/7/365 and see a constant flow of traffic, with one of the largest airports in the United States averaging 286,000 passengers every day. While high-traffic levels are a good sign for the bottom line, the resulting crowded environments and an influx of international commercial shipments present a multitude of security risks. Airport security personnel do their best with the tools available to mitigate emerging threats to passenger and staff safety, but is it enough to match ever-evolving security threats? Although many of these tools come with an expiration date.

With this considerably amount traffic passing through airport facilities on a daily basis, it can be easy for hidden threats to slip through the cracks. Crowded environments and a constant flow of passengers can make it difficult for security teams to prevent theft, tresspassing, active shooters, human trafficking, and other harmful crimes that may occur, and many airports need to upgrade their security posture to keep up with these threats. But how?

Meeting Challenges with Integrated Solutions
When it comes to keeping up with changing threats to passenger and staff safety, security leaders must leverage intelligence to sift through data with precision. Airport security control room operators rely on a diverse array of security solutions that each fill a specific niche, but there’s an issue with this approach. With each solution operating independently and generating a vast amount of data, security personnel may find themselves spread too thin when switching between various applications and programs, limiting their overall situational awareness. Our solution simplifies complexity, enabling security leaders to more effectively achieve their goal of saving lives and protecting critical infrastructure.

To create a more comprehensive view of operations, airports must take an integrated approach by compiling mission-critical data into one streamlined interface for rapid insights. By unifying video surveillance, access control, and sensor data into one comprehensive platform, airport security teams can gain an in-depth view of their environments to identify and respond to developing situations quickly and effectively.

We’re passionate about helping our customers integrate disparate security systems into a single, cohesive platform. We prioritize video as the core element to strengthen situational awareness. And by integrating solutions into a unifying platform, we empower users with comprehensive event management and response capabilities. By automating alarm management and enabling rapid, data-focused investigations, we help equip security teams to achieve faster response times and heightened situational awareness, ensuring robust protection of assets and personnel.

The Intelligent Security Advantage
Airports have unique security needs, and recently, we’ve partnered with one of the United States’ largest airports to demonstrate how an advanced dispatch and response solution can enhance safety and operational efficiency in large, complex environments. This solution fuses mission-critical data to provide security control room operators with immediate, comprehensive situational awareness.

The system allows dispatchers, responders, and third-party resources to share real-time insights for better understanding and faster response to potential threats and active incidents. It uses live and historical event data paired with GIS maps, responder positions, reporter inputs, and other external source information to empower security teams to dispatch the closest, best-equipped, and most appropriate responders to potential incidents. Event data is continuously collected, processed, and analyzed, providing control room operators with the critical information they need to tackle the most complex situations.

Implementing this solution has revolutionized operational efficiencies and effectiveness for airport institutions. By replacing unreliable radio communications with a comprehensive, integrated platform, security teams can swiftly respond to incidents with valuable data that enhances situational awareness and response capabilities. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing systems, ensuring streamlined communication and reducing information overload. With this advanced system, airport security teams can proactively identify and mitigate risks, resolving incidents before they happen while safeguarding personnel, property, and assets.
