How can role-playing be used to enhance security awareness training?
The "Securing Airport" starts with having security awareness programs to different stakeholders. The simulated role playing trainings will have effective outcomes on Securing Airport. The Airport Management has to bring diversified security awareness programs with simulated role-playing sessions to mitigate different security challenges such as Social Engineering, Screening Passengers, Handling Emergencies, or Dealing with Suspicious behavior. The simulated Role-playing programs allows you to practice your communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills in a safe and controlled setting.
