ASHBURN, Va., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: TLS), a leading provider of cyber, cloud, identity and enterprise security solutions for the world’s most security-conscious organizations, today announced that the Maryland Aviation Administration has contracted with Telos to provide the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)-approved Designated Aviation Channeling (DAC) service for processing worker background checks at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).

Telos applies this TSA-accredited software-as-a-service platform to enable airports, air carriers, cargo carriers, and general aviation to perform identity and biometric-based background checks that mitigate insider threats to our nation’s aviation transportation infrastructure.
“Telos is the recognized leader in assuring the identities of aviation workers with advanced biometric and enrollment solutions, evidenced by the growing roster of airports and airlines – over 100 and counting – that currently use the Telos DAC solution,” said Lucini. “We are pleased to support the Maryland Aviation Administration and its world-class airport in their efforts to provide excellence in credentialing and vetting services of their aviation workers, all while reducing costs and providing superior customer care and flexibility.”
