- Kim Dickie and her team at SFO were tasked with overhauling the airport's security infrastructure as passenger numbers rose. They saw the reopening of Terminal 2 as an opportunity to transition to a new credentialing and access management system.
- After reviewing options, they selected Quantum Secure's SAFE for Aviation software, which would integrate previously manual security processes and databases in a centralized system. However, Dickie still needed to justify the costs to senior management.
- The document discusses the challenges of SFO's existing fragmented security systems and processes. It describes how Quantum Secure's SAFE software aims to automate and streamline identity management, access control, and compliance through a single centralized system.

Creating the Brain and Nervous System for Delta Airlines
By Angela Klein, Assistant Professor ICS Park University
April, 2004
On any given day, Delta services “2,100 flights, carries about 300,000 passengers, uses 7.3 million gallons of fuel, serves 87,000 cans of soda, and, to keep the soda cold, boards 219,000 pounds of ice.” (Gage, McCormick) With this volume of activity occurring in airports across the country, there is bound to be inefficiencies. Thus, in late 1997, Delta Technology was formed as a subsidiary of Delta Airlines to address technology concerns. Its mission was to use technology to improve customer service, eliminate inefficiencies, decrease costs, and, ultimately create the best travel experience for their passengers. Delta technology initiated their first system development project; a project that would forever change air travel for Delta. Before its end, this project would involve replacing all the hardware and software in all airports worldwide including gate podiums, phones, printers, networks, servers, applications, databases, and many peripherals; and, with no disruption in service.
As a result of technology, Delta Airlines trimmed their operating expenses $700 million and generated $150 million in new revenue 2002. These successes are attributed to the Delta’s Nervous System; a five year project to build a communication infrastructure that would link more than 100,00 pieces of equipment, over 30 databases, and more than 300 physical locations. The cost of the project was $1.5 billion.
Background
Delta Technology inherited a legacy of many disparate systems that had been slowly developed over time including third-party and custom-developed software. There were “about 17 different technology architectures and 30 different platform environments” (Mc Cooey) each managed separately at different locations. Sometimes, there were even multiple versions of the same software used in different locations of the company. Basically, each location was independently managing their destiny.
In addition to the state of technology within Delta, the U.S. Department of Transportation had imposed regulations requiring all airlines to computerize reservations systems and use the system to effectively manage pricing of seats. This was based on the success of Sabre, American Airline’s reservation system. Sabre, the first system in the industry to give the ability mine buying patterns and determined optimal pricing. The system led to the first frequent flyer program and cheap nonrefundable tickets. For American, this system was considered the “first strategic system – an information system that altered the business strategy of the company.” (Gage, McCormick)
If the government’s pressure to adhere to standards wasn’t enough, at the turn of the century, a proliferation of web travel services posed challenges for Delta. Delta estimated that by investing and promoting online purchasing through the web, the company could.

Abstract
In order to maintain social and economic equilibrium, day-to-day operations must make use of other modes of transportation, such as buses, trains, and ferries. These intricate and interconnected transit systems need to make use of the proper technology to avoid disruptions in their operations, which would be detrimental to the inhabitants, users, data, and assets they serve. At every stage of the journey, the passengers, the crew, the equipment, and the cargo all need to be safeguarded and protected. This is because of the very complicated and frequently vast landscapes. Transportation routes, such as those found in airports and seaports, need to be routinely examined to verify that they are not only free of obstructions but also that they are operating as smoothly as possible. In addition to the risks posed by other dangers and vulnerabilities, the potential for terrorist attacks is an inherent risk at these transportation facilities; as a result, they require the necessary measures to protect what is most important. In addition to issues regarding the environment and the structure, maintaining the integrity of information technology systems is a consistent focus. In each of these situations, a comprehensive and well-thought-out security solution is necessary, even though the particular needs may vary.
Transportation Security Proposal
Introduction
One of the organizations that have successfully ensured the safety of the nation's transportation system is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The transportation business is unique in that it has an impact not only on the specifics of daily living but also on the state of the economy as a whole. When it comes to providing transportation services in a fast and effective manner, the dependability and safety of the organizations providing those services are quite necessary. The transportation industry faces a wide range of issues that get more complex as the market matures. These challenges are exacerbated by the large number of people who use transit stations and the high value of the items that are transported on ships and ferries. Transportation Security in the United States employs a variety of strategies to defend the country, some of which may be covert while others may be obvious to the general public. These strategies are implemented in varying degrees depending on the severity of the threats. This division makes use of tactics such as canine-team airport searches and randomized data collecting and analysis to accomplish its goals. In addition, it works in conjunction with the United States Federal Air Marshals and checks passenger manifests to watch lists. According to Palmer (2020), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses a variety of screening measures to ensure the safety of American citizens. These screening methods might r ...

Voter and Voter Turnout
Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in American Government and review Week Five Instructor Guidance. Also read the following articles: How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fraught with Fraud (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and Proof at the Polls (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process.
Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws?

At every stage of the journey, the passengers, the crew, the equipment, and the cargo all need to be safeguarded and protected. This is because of the very complicated and frequently vast landscapes. Transportation routes, such as those found in airports and seaports, need to be routinely examined to verify that they are not only free of obstructions but also that they are operating as smoothly as possible. In addition to the risks posed by other dangers and vulnerabilities, the potential for terrorist attacks is an inherent risk at these transportation facilities; as a result, they require the necessary measures to protect what is most important. In addition to issues regarding the environment and the structure, maintaining the integrity of information technology systems is a consistent focus. In each of these situations, a comprehensive and well-thought-out security solution is necessary, even though the particular needs may vary.
Transportation Security Proposal
Introduction
One of the organizations that have successfully ensured the safety of the nation's transportation system is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The transportation business is unique in that it has an impact not only on the specifics of daily living but also on the state of the economy as a whole. When it comes to providing transportation services in a fast and effective manner, the dependability and safety of the organizations providing those services are quite necessary. The transportation industry faces a wide range of issues that get more complex as the market matures. These challenges are exacerbated by the large number of people who use transit stations and the high value of the items that are transported on ships and ferries. Transportation Security in the United States employs a variety of strategies to defend the country, some of which may be covert while others may be obvious to the general public. These strategies are implemented in varying degrees depending on the severity of the threats. This division makes use of tactics such as canine-team airport searches and randomized data collecting and analysis to accomplish its goals. In addition, it works in conjunction with the United States Federal Air Marshals and checks passenger manifests to watch lists. According to Palmer (2020), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses a variety of screening measures to ensure the safety of American citizens. These screening methods might r ...

Voter and Voter Turnout
Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in American Government and review Week Five Instructor Guidance. Also read the following articles: How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fraught with Fraud (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and Proof at the Polls (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process.
Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws and justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words. Support your position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources obtained through the AU Library databases. Include APA in-text citations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. in the body of your post and full citations on the references list (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. at the end. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

Ok. This school makes me confused. The summary of this week they posted like this:
SUMMARY:
This week introduced you to grand theories and middle-range theories that serve to articulate the voice of nursing within healthcare.
Here are the key points covered:
Grand theories are comparatively more abstract than middle-range theories since they are at a higher level of abstraction. Compared to grand theories, middle-range theories are made up of limited number of concepts that lend themselves to empirical testing. All theories help to explain human health behavior.
· Sister Callista Royï's adaptive model theory is built on the conceptual foundation of adaptation. It identifies the positive role that nursing plays in the promotion and enhancement of client adaptation to environments that facilitate the healing process.
· Leiningerï's culture care theory is pertinent in the current multicultural healthcare environment where nurses are exposed to diverse cultures.
· Penderï's health promotion and disease prevention theory can be called as a "direction setting exercise" for nursing professionals. It believes in fostering the spirit of health promotion and disease and risk reduction.
From the chapter, Models and Theories Focused on Nursing Goals and Functions, read the following:The Health Promotion Model: Nola J. Pender
From the chapter, Models and Theories Focused on a Systems Approach, read the following:
The Roy Adaptation Model
From the chapter, Models and Theories Focused on Culture, read the following:
Leininger's Cultural Care Diversity and Universality Theory and Model
SO, THAT IS WHY I ASSUMED THAT HAS TO BE ONE OF THEM (Pender, Roy Adaptaion or Leininger)
ANYWAY, I AM PUTTING INFORMATION TOGETHER.

Models and Theories Focused on Nursing Goals and Functions
The Health Promotion Model: Nola J. Pender
Background
Nola J. Pender was born in 1941 in Lansing, Michigan. She graduated in 1962 with a diploma in nursing. In 1964, Pender completed a bachelor’s of science in nursing at Michigan State University. By 1969, she had completed a doctor of philosophy in psychology and education. During this time in her career, Pender began looking at health and nursing in a broad way, including defining the goal of nursing care as optimal health.
In 1975, Pender published a model for preventive health behavior; her health promotion model first appeared in the first edition of the text Health Promotion in Nursing Practice in 1982. Pender’s health promotion model has its foundation in Albert Bandura’s (1977) social learning theory (which postulates that cognitive processes affect behavior change) and is influenced by Fishbein’s (1967) theory of reasoned action (which asserts that personal attitudes and social norms affect behavior).
Pender’s Health Promotion Model
McCullagh (2009) labeled Pender’s health promotion model as a middle-range integrative theory, and rightly so. Fawcett (2005) decisively presented the differenc.

A SOCIAL CAPITAL THEORY OF CAREER SUCCESS
SCOTT E. SEIBERT
MARIA L. KRAIMER
•̂ ' ' ' Cleveland State University
ROBERT C. LIDEN
University of Illinois at Chicago
A model integrating competing theories of social capital with research on career
success was developed and tested in a sample of 448 employees with various occupa-
tions and organizations. Social capital was conceptualized in terms of network struc-
ture and social resources. Results of structural equation modeling showed that net-
work structure was related to social resources and that the effects of social resources
on career success were hilly mediated by three network benelits: access to information,
access to resources, and career sponsorship.
Organizational researchers have begun to de-
velop increasingly comprehensive models of career
success using demographic, human capital, work-
family, motivational, organizational, and industry
variables (e.g., Dreher & Ash, 1990; Judge & Bretz,
1994: Judge, Cable. Boudreau, & Bretz. 1995; Kirch-
meyer, 1998). Although this work has provided
considerable evidence regarding the determinants
of career outcomes, the roles of informal interper-
sonal behaviors have not been fully explored (Judge
& Bretz, 1994; Pfeffer, 1989). Popular advice for
getting ahead in one's career rarely fails to mention
the importance of networking for the achievement
of career goals (e.g., Bolles, 1992; Kanter, 1977).
Indeed, Luthans, Hodgetts, and Rosenkrantz (1988)
found that the most successful managers in their
study spent 70 percent more time engaged in net-
working activities and 10 percent more time en-
gaged in routine communication activities than
their less successful counterparts. Recent advances
in social capital theory (Coleman, 1990) have begun
to provide a finer-grained analysis of the ways in-
dividuals' social networks affect their careers in
organizations (Burt, 1992, 1997; Ibarra, 1995;
Podolny & Baron, 1997; Sparrowe & Popielarz,
1995). This theoretical perspective has the poten-

Inclusiveness. The main difference that can distinguish a happy employee from disgruntled employee. As with all decisions that are made, there is always an audience that the decision will affect. When employees are privy and organizational decisions are inclusive to employees this can greatly increase their level of fulfillment. Whether or not the end user of the decision will be content with the outcome or not, there will always be critics. Which leads us to discuss key characteristics and the importance of involving employees in relative organizational decision making.
It is not uncommon to find that during strategic organizational planning that top-level management will include their employees to engage and provide their input on complex processes. Human capital, whether the organization is large or small, corporate ran or small business managed is key to an organization’s success. Employee satisfaction level drives productivity and is what increases revenue for the company. Happy employees equal happy customers.
What does it take to keep employees motivated? A critical and important element for employers to keep their employees happy and content is clear communication. It is critical that an organization’s objective and vision for future growth is communicated clearly throughout all levels. Top-level management must be skilled at delivering the company’s mission and values to every tier within their organization. Each tier within the organization with healthy communication should be able to open-mindedly accept the message and freely provide any feedback positive or negative without fear of repercussion. Keeping an open line of communication within an organization is key to building the foundation for success.
As we move away from the golden days of traditional office operations consisting of fax machines, telephones, paper, pencils, etc. and move towards a more technologically repertoire, we lose the personable face to face interaction with one another. We spend most of the day behind our computer screen at our desk. The need to sustain job satisfaction amongst employees could not be ever more present than now. To maintain the morale amongst employees, organizations should be able to keep them challenged and motivated. Take technology for example. If the increase of new technology isn’t daunting enough, consider the challenge to remain current with technology all the while maintaining a competitive advantage in the industry? Reach internally to our internal resource, human capital. Employees must be given the opportunity to share their knowledge, skills, and abilities. When empowered to provide input concerning highly visible organizational decisions, employee morale is boosted. Not only is this beneficial for employees but also the employer as they receive ideas and input that could possibly lead to the solution. Employee engagement boosts the overall welfare of the organization.

Sujan Poster/Poster Abstract - Aspiration pneumonia (1).docx
Title: Aspiration pneumonia: Best practice to avoid complications
Background
Aspiration pneumonia is a lung infection due to inhaled contents; this is a relevant topic because aspiration pneumonia is prevalent and accounts for up to 15% of all pneumonia cases and is particularly common in older people, and thus it is important for nurses to be aware of how to manage the condition particularly as the population is ageing so this will be of more concern (Kwong, Howden & Charles 2011).
Target Audience
The target audience for this presentation is experienced Registered Nurses and thus the presentation has been designed for this group.
Main Findings
Aspiration pneumonia is an infection within the lungs that occurs after a person aspirates either liquid, vomit or food into the larynx and lower respiratory tract; this can occur when an individual inhales their gastric or oral contents. Patients at risk include individuals who are elderly or those who have a marked disturbance of consciousness such as that resulting from a drug overdose, seizures, a massive cerebrospinal accident, dysphagia or dysphasia (Kwong, Howden & Charles 2011). Aspiration pneumonia can quickly develop into respiratory failure, abscess and empyema and this requires supportive care, which is the main form of therapy, however prophylactic antimicrobial therapy is also often prescribed (Joundi, Wong & Leis 2015). Best practice suggests suctioning, supplemental oxygen to keep O2 above 90%, septic shock therapy, management of hypotension and antibiotic therapy for 7-10 days. Sputum cultures should be taken so that antibiotics can be tailored appropriately (McAdams-Jones & Sundar 2012).
Implications for Practice
These findings are important for registered nurses to be aware of so that aspiration pneumonia can be managed appropriately and complications can be avoided, which could cause increased hospital stay and costs. Nurses need to be aware of the best practice recommendations such as oxygen supplementation, sit up while eating, provide thickened foods and drinks, dental care and about taking sputum cultures when managing aspiration pneumonia so that treatment can be tailored appropriately and recovery can occur quickly.
Feedback from marker (Teacher)
Thank you for your abstract.
You have just managed a pass grade, your work is very basic and you will need to engage with the basic practice literature to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of this topic in your poster.
I am also unclear on your focus, is this about prevention of aspiration or management once it has occurred or both?
Kind regards Andrea

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

San Francisco International Airport and
Quantum Secure’s SAFE for Aviation System:
Making the Business Case for Corporate Security
On January 22, 2008, Assistant Deputy Director of Aviation
Security Kim Dickie met with her
team in a conference room at San Francisco International
Airport (known by its three-letter airport
code, SFO) to review the challenge facing them.
Steadily rising passenger counts and the increasing launch of
2. service by low-cost carriers such
as Virgin America, Southwest Airlines, and JetBlue Airways
had compelled SFO’s Airport Director
John Martin to announce plans to renovate and reopen Terminal
2, shuttered in 2000 upon the
opening of SFO’s new international terminal. The $383 million
project would require new heating
and ventilation installations, energy-efficient architectural
design, and the construction of four
additional gates, but Dickie was focused on the security
infrastructure requirements.1 In addition,
Dickie’s boss, Henry Thompson, the Associate Deputy Airport
Director of Safety and Security, had
a mandate to overhaul the security infrastructure of the airport,
tightening loopholes around
employees and passenger security, airside operations, badge
credentialing, physical identity and
access management, as well as investing in technology,
automation, and intelligence to create a next-
generation model airport.
Dickie and her team saw the Terminal 2 reopening as an
opportunity to start a much-needed
transition to a long-term airport-wide credentialing and physical
identity and access management
(PIAM) system that would meet the growing need of airport
risks and comply with regulations from
the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).2 After
months of work, she and her team had
selected Quantum Secure’s SAFE for Aviation software suite as
the new Terminal 2 credentialing
system.
The infrastructure upgrades required by the renovation provided
both momentum and initial
support from senior executives, but Dickie still needed to

regulations. Dickie and her team had a small window of
opportunity to develop a business case that
would convince senior management to fund the purchase.
Airport Security
Security at SFO posed unique challenges. The most obvious was
the more than 100,000
5. passengers who used the facility’s ticketing and check-in lines,
security screens, gates, and baggage
claim every day. Less visible were the thousands of tenants,
vendors, airline personnel, and third-
party contractors who needed to be authenticated and whose
physical access rights had to be
controlled and managed dynamically based on their role and the
airport’s security policies.
Due to the vast array of security threats, managing the identities
of these people, their
credentials, and their physical access to facilities, all airports
were required to execute mission-
critical processes, which included:
security clearances for access
to secured locations from the TSA, the Canadian Air Transport
Security Authority
(CATSA), or other relevant national transportation security
governing bodies;
BASIC (Biometric Airport Security
Identification Consortium) messaging integration to
communicate with the Transportation
Security Clearinghouse;
included the management and
storage of related documents, such as a copy of a passport or I-9
form;
-service access rights to allow approved
parties to enroll their own
employees and subcontractors and grant them physical access
6. rights prior to their on-site
arrival;
nd enforcing new security directives like
SD-1542-04-08G, which
governed the security protocols for transient aircraft and after-
hours operations, or SD-
1542-04-08F, which required security threat assessments on a
wider range of parties
including pilots, baggage screeners, and other airport
employees;
systems (PACS), human
resources and information technology systems, and biometric
employee databases so as to
generate a common workflow and consistent policies across all
systems;
detected and penalized, with
penalties escalating with each subsequent violation; and
r
people have the proper access
for the proper reasons.
In principle, airports could have completed these processes by
creating a single notion of a user’s
identity for use across the entire facility and attaching that
identity to a set of access rules overseen
by aviation employees and airport tenants. This would have
established a unified policy paradigm
that issued credentials, managed rules, and modified or
retracted access when the role was changed
or terminated.

KEL720 SFO AND QUANTUM SECURE
In actuality, however, each of these procedures was handled
separately, processed manually,
and the results entered into separate databases. This approach
led to numerous problems. For
8. example, there was no routine way to determine if an access
card had been successfully deactivated
after the termination of an airport worker, nor was there any
way to tell if an airport worker without
the required privileges had access to a restricted area. The
databases had different formats and file
types, so they could not communicate with each other or be
checked for internal consistency, so
updates lagged days or weeks behind actual changes such as
terminations. These challenges were
exacerbated by the fact that airport badging operators often
lacked understanding of the strategic
importance of following certain protocols and assessing risks.
This led to inefficiencies, delays, and
at times, compromised security levels.
The disjointed execution of these processes—which were often
conducted out of sequence and
required additional resources for correction—undermined
airports’ operational efficiency. (See
Exhibits 1 and 2.) For example, one large international airport
took three weeks to register an
employee in the parking, payroll, human resources, and PACS
databases. “You’d go stand in this
huge line, and you’d get to the front of the line, and they would
say, ‘This isn’t right, come back
Tuesday to fill out new forms,’” said Ajay Jain, president and
CEO of Quantum Secure, a provider
of enterprise-wide security software solutions. “The wait was so
long that people were starting to
leave and just abandon these job offers, thereby creating heavy
strain on airport operations.”3
The challenges did not end once a new employee was registered
in the systems—any changes
to access permissions required that a massive spreadsheet be
9. printed and compared to the list used
at an access point to identify any additions, deletions, or
modifications. This inefficient, highly
manual, and error-prone process had been the status quo in the
physical access control world for
decades, but development of comprehensive software solutions
offered the prospect of integrating
and streamlining existing procedures.
Process automation not only promised improved efficiency,
speed, and cost, but also improved
compliance that could mitigate potentially serious legal and
reputational risks. “When you talk to a
higher-level audience and outline these issues at the CXO level,
that audience understands the
limitations there,” Jain said. “They know they’ve got major
compliance and risk issues to deal with,
and they’re asking, ‘How do I clean that up? How do I make
things accountable?’”4
Quantum Secure and SAFE
Founded in 2005 in San Jose, California, Quantum Secure was a
privately held provider of
software-based solutions and platforms for physical identity and
access management.
Quantum Secure’s core offering was the SAFE software suite, a
commercial off-the-shelf
solution that streamlined the identity management and access
provisioning processes for clients with
large facilities that required rigorous physical security and
access management procedures. SAFE
for Aviation enabled users to create a single notion of identity
across the entire airport that integrated
previously fragmented manual processes as well as biometrics.

11. managers to create policies and general procedures for issuing
credentials and granting access to
airport facilities.
SAFE’s flexible system architecture and policy/rules-based
framework accommodated changes
and additions to rules, workflows, and policies without
programming, which meant that ever-
changing regulations and internal initiatives could be easily
incorporated without costly upkeep and
development charges. It also addressed “insider threats” by
continuously monitoring video and
marrying it with analytics of access behavior to identify
anomalies that could provide early warning
of any potential threats.
SAFE for Aviation integrated directly with the existing airport
security infrastructure, obviating
the need for costly replacement of existing security systems,
hardware, controllers, and other
products. The software integrated with all leading PACS,
training systems, TSA-mandated
background-check processes, and other airport-specific IT
systems, allowing disparate security
systems to act as a single unit. (See Exhibits 3 and 4.)
In 2008, Toronto Pearson International Airport deployed the
SAFE suite. Based on preliminary
results, the airport expected to meet the following goals:5
ssing a badge by 28 percent,
from $49 to $35;
minutes;
12. minutes to 25 minutes; and
l audit and
compliance.
Bryan Scott, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority’s senior
manager of security
infrastructures, said, “. . . the PPCO [Pass/Permit Control
Office] serves an average of 175 clients
per day and more than 45,000 employees and contractors each
year for a wide variety of pass/permit
requests. We needed a system that could keep up with this
demand, ensuring that important staff
started work in a timely fashion while maintaining high levels
of customer satisfaction.”6
Selecting a
Solution
With the announcement that SFO would be renovating Terminal
2 to accommodate increased
demand for gates from discount air carriers, Dickie’s team
needed to decide how to solve its PACS
challenges. For decades, SFO had relied on physical access
systems—the systems that opened and
closed doors—that were not designed to implement integrated
13. processes, such as policies related to
access grant or revocation, as well as the ability to manage
compliance with internal controls.
Although SFO had led the industry with the installation of
biometric technology at access
control doors in 1990, “it was very painful,” Dickie said. “We
desperately wanted to move away
from legacy manual processing to automating and streamlining
our credential issuance process. We

were also thinking to rip and replace our old physical access
system at the same time.”7 Although
SFO had managed to stave off expensive hardware upgrades for
many years, the evolving demands
of physical security had required periodic software upgrades, a
marriage of new and old that was
not without occasional problems. The Terminal 2 renovation
project therefore came at an opportune
moment for Dickie’s team, as it presented an opportunity to
begin a migration to a new PACS on a
newly opened area of the airport that did not yet face the strain
of full everyday usage.8
Dickie first hired a systems integrator that shortlisted several
companies and managed the
request for proposal process before ultimately helping the team
select a newer PACS for Terminal
2. “We had a situation where we had a 20-year-old access
control system in place, and we wanted
to migrate off of it into a new platform, but we had to do it in a
phased manner due to bandwidth
constraints,” Dickie said. “Knowing that we were going to have
a newer and different PACS running
16. in Terminal 2 and the older PACS still running everywhere else
in the airport, we were looking for
a new badging solution that could interface with both and
provide us with a much-needed identity
and credential lifecycle management system—all at once.”9
This requirement meant that the badge provisioning software
would have to communicate with
the old and new PACS while being flexible enough to
accommodate new TSA directives and
interface with the newly deployed PACS. After a rigorous
examination of the options available,
Dickie and her team selected Quantum Secure’s SAFE for
Aviation product. They considered other
vendors, but felt that Quantum Secure offered the most
comprehensive solution and also provided a
robust audit and compliance system.
“We talked to all the various vendors, and then to other airports,
most of whom did not have a
separate badging system; they just badge through the physical
access control systems,” Dickie said.
“The badges that come out in the previous process have no
intelligence built in. After the physical
production of the badge, all processes from pre-enrollment of an
17. airport identity to badge assignment
to access management leading to termination of the access—all
processes are done manually with
lots of errors and no accountability. We knew Quantum Secure
had done work for Toronto, so we
called them and understood how Quantum’s technology is being
leveraged by them. They had three
PACS systems that they had to converge. We thought we had it
bad with two. We got a lot of positive
comments from Toronto and how they fully automated tough
manual processes, including audit and
compliance requirements. We placed a lot of importance on
Quantum’s ability and willingness to
service us and deliver airport-specific functionality and
enhancements as they became necessary,
because in the physical security world, especially with airports,
the goalposts are always moving.”10
Calculating Return on Investment
Dickie liked the operational aspects of the SAFE solution but
still had to convince senior SFO
executives that the tangible benefits justified the cost. Deciding
the right amount to spend to achieve
a given level of security was a challenging task, in large part
18. because serious breaches of security
were very rare but resulted in extremely painful consequences.

SFO AND QUANTUM SECURE KEL720
The team’s research identified benefits to SFO in five major
areas: reduced labor and material
costs, increased accuracy of recordkeeping, improved
compliance with safety regulations, and
avoided costs of replacing old systems by enabling integration
and interoperation.
Labor Costs
Quantum Secure supplied data about the impact of the SAFE
system on Toronto Pearson’s
20. badging process over the entire user lifecycle. Upon
implementing the SAFE system, Toronto
Pearson estimated that its automated, interconnected identity
management system would reduce the
need for duplicative data entry and streamline the background-
check process to onboard a new user.
As a result, the time to onboard a user would fall from 9.33 man
hours (560 minutes) to just 20
minutes.
Dickie saw this as a significant potential cost savings if SFO’s
own credentialing time could be
reduced from the more than six man hours it currently took. The
airport credentialed approximately
2,000 new users every year, a figure Dickie expected to grow by
approximately 10 percent for each
of the next five years (from 2009 to 2013), the timeframe used
by its finance department to calculate
the payback period for capital expenditures. Employees in the
SFO security department, who
performed the onboarding tasks, earned an average of $8 per
hour.
SAFE also enabled Toronto Pearson to increase the consistency
of data entry, which reduced ID
21. badge processing costs from $49 per card to $35 in the first
year, with the potential to decrease
further in subsequent years. SFO’s cost was approximately $44
per badge before implementing the
SAFE solution. Dickie knew this also could represent
significant cost savings for the 2,000 users
that would access Terminal 2 using the older PACS system in
2009, and the rest of SFO’s
approximately 20,000 users that ultimately would migrate to the
new system in Terminal 2 as it was
migrated across the rest of the airport in four equal tranches in
future years.
On average, identity management at SFO required
approximately 15 minutes of manual
processing per identity per year for each of the more than
20,000 identities. (Dickie expected this
number to grow by 5 percent annually for the next five years.)
Identity management consisted of
changing identity records, terminating identities, changing
access provisioning, replacing lost
badges, and renewing old badges. Automating these tasks with
SAFE was expected to reduce the
time required to complete them by as much as 35 percent, which
would not only increase the
22. productivity of security personnel but also prevent users from
experiencing long wait times.
Material Costs
The enhanced functionality of the new PACS at Terminal 2
required a new, more
technologically sophisticated badge for the 2,000 users
accessing the terminal in 2009. Without
SAFE, any users with access to both Terminal 2 and other parts
of the airport that still used the older
PACS infrastructure would have to carry a new badge for
Terminal 2 in addition to their old badge
for the rest of the airport. The old badges cost $2.00, while the
new badges for Terminal 2 cost $7.00.
Based on the planned rollout of the new PACS and gradual
replacement of the old PACS, Dickie
estimated the number of users that would need two badges over
time would be as follows:

24. KEL720 SFO AND QUANTUM SECURE
By implementing SAFE technology from Quantum Secure,
however, SFO would eliminate the
need for duplicate badges, as SAFE could enable the newer
badges to continue working on the older
PACS system when those users accessed airport areas outside of
the Terminal 2 zone (which would
now use the newer PACS system). Approximately 8 percent of
SFO users’ ID cards were lost every
year, requiring replacement, and Dickie did not expect that this
would change.
Increased Accuracy of Recordkeeping
Because SAFE populated recurring fields such as social security
number, name, and address
across multiple pages and required certain fields to be
completed before moving to the next screen,
Dickie knew that one of its benefits would be far fewer missing
fields and mistyped information in
SFO’s user database. However, the team worried that it would
be difficult to place a dollar value on
greater information accuracy.
25. Dickie knew, however, that one tangible result of improved
accuracy would be a reduction in
the time to detect and correct errors across the airport’s various
databases. The badging department
reported that seven employees spent one full day each month
comparing user databases and
attempting to correct the errors they discovered. Toronto
Pearson had reported a 90 percent reduction
in this activity after its SAFE implementation; Dickie
anticipated that SFO’s systems and processes
were comparable to Toronto Pearson’s before its SAFE
implementation, but she estimated that 90
percent was an aggressive savings assumption and that SFO
would probably enjoy a slightly lower
level of savings.
Increased Compliance
According to Quantum Secure, the SAFE for Aviation solution
had improved Toronto Pearson’s
compliance with various regulatory safety standards by as much
as 60 percent, although it was
impossible to obtain accurate data across various categories. For
example, Toronto Pearson reported
26. a drop in accidental violations of the Canadian Air Transport
Security Authority’s restricted area
identification card program from 311 to 224 annually. Most of
the reduction stemmed from
eliminating violations resulting from users borrowing badges to
access areas for which they lacked
permission, a violation that could result in a fine of up to
$10,000 CAD (approximately $8,849 USD
at the time) per incident. SAFE
