Day 1 - 14 March
Session: Aviation Security, Border Control & Facilitation

14:35 - 14:50 - The importance of intelligence for daily decision making
Synopsis: Global companies, having to operate in complex environments, expect to find creative and relevant solutions to a vast variety of risk scenarios. Riots, civil unrest, terror and natural disasters are only a few of the challenges to be mitigated. When it comes to aviation security, the majority of people will address the threat to the airport or the flight, but only few would address the threat to the larger circle; for example, today's risk level at the landing area. Qualitative intelligence, vetted and analysed by experienced analysts, is a force multiplier for the CSO and an efficient tool in his toolbox and decision making process.

Audience will learn:

• The different intel services relevant to aviation security
• What one could expect to receive from an intelligence provider
• Lessons learned – examples of intel usage in decision making
