Airports face unique security challenges due to their vast and complex environments.  While news stories have often highlighted casual intruders breaching perimeter fences, the issue goes beyond bad publicity in itself.

Inadequate perimeter security creates vulnerabilities, including unauthorized entry, smuggling and threats to passenger safety, aircraft and infrastructure.  A single breach can halt operations, delay flights, threaten lives and cost the airport millions in fines, damages and lost revenue.

Because these consequences far outweigh the cost of preventative measures, strengthening perimeter security is a mission-critical task and a top priority for all modern airports.
