Terrorism Policing HQ, the Home Office Centre for Applied Science & Technology (CAST) and
the Israeli Ministry of Transport will discuss a variety of topics. The lively and engaging sessions

Driving the transport security agenda
Running alongside the Critical National Infrastructure & Business Reliance and Cyber Threat
Intelligence conference, the Transport Security Live will focus on discussing effective security
solutions for the global transport infrastructure.

The global terror threat is high and transport networks are a favoured target. The free-to-attend
Transport Security Live Conference will showcase international case studies and the latest
developments in protecting transport networks, transport hubs and passengers.

The conference will bring together the key stakeholders from government, police, aviation,
maritime, public transport, and rail to discover best practice, the latest solutions and
developments in transport security. Comment on the importance of Peter Cook, Chief Executive
Officer, of the Security Association for the Maritime Industry said: “Terrorists will stop at nothing
to cause maximum damage and that includes targeting critical national and global infrastructure.
Preventing these kinds of attacks has never been more essential especially as 90% of all global
trade moves by sea. Events like Transport Security Live are critical as they bring together a
diverse group of professionals to exchange ideas in the hope of creating a safer and smarter
transport network for all”.

Cook will be joined by the likes of Dvir Rubinshtein, Manager, Aviation Security Operation
Centre, Israeli Ministry of Transport; Inspector Chris Boyle, Strategic Partnerships – Prevent,
National Counter Terrorism Policing HQ; and Peter Cook, CEO, Security Association for
Maritime Industry.
