Airports & Seaports Need Identity Security

s

Global economic vitality demands an efficient, cost effective, and secure transportation infrastructure that facilitates the free flow of trade while safeguarding people and property from domestic and international threats. However, significant challenges remain to guarantee the security of the port facilities that enable a thriving ecosystem of global trade.

s
Each year, 75 million flights across a global network of 14,000 airports support nearly six billion passenger trips and move 91 million tons of cargo. At the same time, 55 thousand merchant ships carrying eight billion tons of cargo make more than ten thousand ports of call weekly across a network of 960 ports worldwide.
s
These critical transportation hubs employ millions of workers and millions more — contractors, visitors, crew members, truck drivers, and delivery staff – have access to secure areas at these locations. Identifying and vetting these individuals while simultaneously facilitating and controlling their access within these critical air and seaport facilities is vital to enabling secure, efficient, and reliable global trade.
s

Port security faces additional challenges as technology advancements in mobility and cloud computing proliferate in port environments and play an increasingly important operational role. Shared security infrastructures will emerge among facilities owned or operated by individual or partnered organizations across states, and regions both domestically and internationally. 

s
This evolution of port security towards a “virtual perimeter” created by complex, interconnected networks of network – both physical and logical – will demand identity-based security. This type of security can only be delivered through advanced, biometric-based identification and credentialing solutions.
