Primion is now a member of GATE: Shaping the future of airport security

August 3, 2026

Primion is a new member of GATE, the international network for airport technology, and brings more than 30 years’ experience in protecting critical infrastructure and extensive expertise from international airport projects to the partnership. Together with airport operators and technology partners, Primion, as an internationally successful company, aims to help shape the next generation of secure, resilient and high-performance airports.

Airports are among the most complex operational environments in the world: thousands of employees and their identities, hundreds of external service providers, tens of thousands of access events every day, and countless critical security zones and processes must all interact reliably around the clock. Physical and digital risks can no longer be viewed in isolation; instead, solutions are needed that do justice to this complexity.

Primion therefore focuses on converged security: physical security, identity management, HR processes, information technology and operational systems are integrated into a smart ecosystem. This creates the transparency needed to identify risks at an early stage, manage processes securely and strengthen operational resilience.

For Primion, membership means far more than simply expanding its own network. The company actively contributes its comprehensive expertise to the industry dialogue, provides new impetus and, together with GATE, is shaping the future of airport security.

“The future of airport security lies in intelligent networking,” says Francis Cepero, CEO of Primion. “Identities, authorisations, technologies and processes must work together reliably. Our guiding principle sums this up perfectly: the right person, with the right authorisation, in the right place.”
