Noblis Securing Transportation: The Technology and Strategies Protecting Tomorrow's Travel

Securing record crowds in airports has grown increasingly complex post-9/11. In the face of evolving threats, the Transportation Security Administration is at the forefront of the effort to effectively secure our nation’s airports. From staying ahead of adversaries through disruptive technologies, to navigating the intersections between public and private sector aviation stakeholders, securing U.S. airports has become a multi-tiered, collaborative endeavor—all while balancing the impact to the passenger.

On April 11, Noblis will convene a discussion with federal and industry leaders across the aviation and security communities on why embracing a proactive approach to technology strategy is key to advancing national security solutions amid the growing demands of modern passengers. Register today to explore the following topics and more:

How today’s R&D strategies impact tomorrow’s transportation security practices
