Airline and airport workers (and vendors) require access to sensitive and restricted areas during the normal course of their required duties. Management needs to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to restricted areas – this is just as high a priority as passenger security checkpoints. However, many airports currently have siloed systems and processes used to manage employee credentials for facility access. Physical identity and access management operations are often handled manually. This results in higher costs of operations and potential danger because of errors, enrollment and termination delays, and a lower level of overall security.
