Speaker Biograghy: Col. Mgr. Petr Malovec has been working in the area of border control since 2001. In 2008 he began extensive activities in terms of deployment of biometrics and related PKI infrastructure in the border control procedures, which ended with the successful implementation of the ABC system at Vaclav Havel Airport Prague. As the head of the National Border Situation Centre he is in charge of the successful deployment of all ICT technologies and systems related to border control protection, including a wide range of use cases from mobile up to ABC control.


Day 3 - 17 March
Session: Aviation & Border Security, Control & Facilitation

11:15 - 11:40 - ABC system helps increase security and efficiency
Synopsis: Demands on border control procedures are continually increasing, and one cannot expect that the current security level will be relaxed in the foreseeable future. The operation of an ABC system provides a unique opportunity to deploy human resources in a more efficient and secure way. Therefore the Czech Border Police decided to extend the number of operational e-gates at Prague Airport to 12, continuing the success story that began in 2011. The experience so far, as well as the operational figures, confirm that the decision taken has been correct.

Audience will learn:

• An ABC system can be highly efficient when its deployment is carefully considered
• Reducing security levels as an answer to increasing passenger numbers is not desirable – ABC processes are a better answer
• Even with strictly set operational security thresholds, operating e-gates can be a smooth and user-friendly process
• An ABC system is an excellent tool that helps processing passenger flows within critical areas of an airport
