Airport & Aviation Security Dr. Ulrich Scholten | Prof. Eric Moskwa

Defining Airport/Aviation Security Airport security refers to the techniques and methods used in an attempt to protect passengers, staff and planes which use the airports from accidental/malicious harm, crime and other threats. Aviation security is a combination of human and material resources to safeguard civil aviation against unlawful interference. Unlawful interference could be acts of terrorism, sabotage, threat to life and property, communication of false threat, bombing etc.

Security Versus Effectiveness

Important Definitions Assurance - the level of guarantee that a security system will behave as expected Countermeasure - a way to stop a threat from triggering a risk event Defense in depth - the combination of several security measures Risk - a possible event which could cause a loss Threat - a method of triggering a risk event that is dangerous Vulnerability - a weakness in a target that can potentially be exploited by a security threat Exploit - a vulnerability that has been triggered by a threat - a risk of 100% No system is invulnerable - but the level of vulnerability should be close to zero
