CATSA centralizes data from 89 airports for passenger security screenings

摘要

When catsa began a comprehensive IT project 18 months ago, it had one advantage that most enterprises don't: It was able to build a comprehensive data set virtually from scratch. The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, based in Ottawa, was created in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. A Crown corporation regulated by Transport Canada, CATSA's mandate is to ensure that passenger screening processes in 89 Canadian airports are comprehensive and safe. Those responsibilities previously fell to the individual airport authorities.
