Within the last few years, insider threat incidents have increased across the
United States. As a result, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
and Federal Airport Authority (FAA) have implemented stricter rules for
airport employee background checks. The authorities have since imposed
regulations to automate employee background checks in every airport,
whether small or large. This has fueled airports to find a solution that helps
to meet their evolving needs and ensures compliance with these new
requirements to avoid hefty fines.
Consequently, some airports have resorted to a variety of single-purpose
systems, while others have chosen a complex Identity Management System
(IDMS) to manage their badging process and employee background
checks. Both options allow airports to remain compliant with new
regulations, but both solutions present their own operational inefficiencies.
