  • Aviation Security Consultant
  • Arup UK

Sarah has an extensive background in aviation safety and security but most recently, before joining Arup, she worked as a Counter Terrorism Security Advisor for Thames Valley Police in the UK. At Arup she specialises in integrating layered security solutions to design projects, focusing on establishing the correct governance to incorporate physical and procedural security inputs at an early stage whereby they are most robust and cost-effective. She works mainly on airports and associated developments but also Critical National Infrastructure and other crowded places. She has a particular interest in procedural security and in understanding behaviour within a particular space, therefore designing and developing awareness to improve behaviour and response in critical situations.

  • Secure by Design

    Secure by Design is about embedding security as a non-negotiable quality attribute throughout the entire lifecycle of critical infrastructure, making it inherently more robust, resistant to attack, and capable of recovering quickly from inevitable disruptions. From Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment to Secure Supply Chain, it’s making security a foundational characteristic from the initial concept and design phase, through development, deployment, operation, and eventual decommissioning.
