To comply with the Transportation Security Administration\n(TSA)\u2019s stringent regulations for the credentialing of employees and\ncontractors, airports have to undertake complex and time-consuming processes to\nissue and administer badges or face hefty fines. To help airports of all sizes\nautomate and simplify this process, Genetec Inc. has announced its new Genetec\u2122\nSecurity Center Airport Badging Solution (ABS). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A key element of the TSA\u2019s Insider Threat Program involves\nthe thorough vetting and credentialing of airport and airline employees prior\nto being granted unescorted access to secure and sterile areas of an airport.\nWith hundreds to thousands of employees working in and accessing secure zones\nevery day, the vetting, credentialing and badging process in airports can be\nlong and tedious and is often at the mercy of incompatibility issues between\nsystems that aren\u2019t made to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new Security Center Airport Badging Solution reduces the\nneed to work with multiple different systems and simplifies the entire badging\nprocess. This not only minimizes the risk of potential human error that comes\nwith disparate systems and manual processing, but also streamlines the overall\nbadging process by saving time and increasing efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some airports have resorted to a variety of single-purpose\nsystems, while others have chosen a complex Identity Management System (IDMS)\nto manage their badging process and employee background checks. While both\noptions allow airports to remain compliant with new regulations, these\nsolutions present operational inefficiencies. ABS helps reduce human error that\ncan stem from managing multiple disconnected systems and avoids the\ncomplexities of large-scale Identity Management Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe TSA can show up at any time, in any airport, big or\nsmall, and perform a compliance audit of their badging department.\nUnfortunately, smaller airports have been managing this process using paper,\nwhich can be a time-consuming process often resulting in lost information, and\npotentially large fines for compliance violations. The Genetec Airport Badging\nSolution provides an industry-first, out-of-the-box, simple solution for these\nairports to ensure compliance, optimize the badging process, and lower the\noverhead needed to run a badging department,\u201d explains Joseph Degrassi,\nRegional Director, Public Sector at Genetec Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ABS provides a simple, turnkey solution for airports that\nstreamlines and automates background checks within their unified physical\nsecurity platform \u2013 Genetec Security Center. With a design based on standards\nset forth by the TSA and specificities from clearinghouses like AAAE, Security\nCenter ABS helps airports deliver the required information in the correct\nformat to successfully submit and process each employee application, and\nconsistently meet audit and compliance requirements set by authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All data collected on each badge applicant is compiled and\nstored within the system. Customized dashboards are included within Security\nCenter to showcase insights such as real-time applicant statuses, and\nunaccounted for badge percentages so that airport administrators can make more\ninformed decisions, especially when it comes to meeting audit and compliance\nrequirements set by the TSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
