Free-to-attend Workshops

Transport Security Expo 2010 will host over 30 free-to-attend workshop sessions at the 2010 event, details of which are shown below.

DAY 1 - 14th September

SECURING CARGO - SPONSORED BY as&e

Cargo, whether it’s carried by land, sea or air, continues to be viewed in many circles as the Achilles Heel in the transportation security arena. In the past prime focus has been given to loss prevention through theft or damage, but cargo is nowadays seen as the Trojan Horse through which those with harm in mind might successfully infiltrate the system. This must attend workshop outlines the threat and the available solutions to the vexed question of how best to secure the cargo channel

PERIMETER SECURITY & INTRUSION DETECTION

Perimeter security remains the least visible but by no means least important aspect of the security regime protecting transport hubs. Public facing security measures are rendered ineffective without the application of robust perimeter security systems and processes. This key workshop explores the technology supporting effective perimeter security and best practice techniques to ensuring an impenetrable barrier between public and private zones.

DAY 2 - 15th September

PASSENGER SECURITY & FACILITATION - SPONSORED BY

Balancing the need for greater levels of security at transport hubs with a requirement to move continually growing numbers of travelers, requires constant innovation in how we use staff, technology and process improvements to help enhance the passenger experience. This specialized workshop offers the opportunity to learn about the latest techniques and technologies that combined can enhance the customer experience, present new opportunities for revenue generation and facilitate more convenient travel for all

TERMINAL SECURITY

As the security regime protecting the mode of travel hardens, the infrastructure supporting it is becoming an equally potent target for those with intent to harm. Terminal security must therefore evolve into an all-encompassing model able to protect travelers not only from common criminal activity but also acts of terrorism. Explore the latest thinking and discover solutions to terminal security problems in this specialist workshop
