Description
The rapid adoption and evolution of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have introduced new security challenges across all sectors. This session will equip security practitioners with critical knowledge to understand the inherent risks UAS pose to businesses, the legal landscape surrounding drone operations and countermeasures, and practical steps to assess and mitigate these risks.
Attendees will also gain insights into the latest UAS detection and tracking technologies that can be incorporated into modern security strategies. This presentation educates security leaders about operational guidance, risk assessment methodologies, legal considerations, and technological advancements to help organizations proactively defend against the growing threat of unauthorized drones.
Outline
Andrew Corsaro is an accomplished security consulting executive with over 27 years of experience in the security industry, specializing in physical security program development, enterprise risk management, and emerging security technologies. As Vice President of Consulting Services at ZBeta, Andrew leads strategic initiatives that help Fortune 50 companies, critical infrastructure providers, and high-net-worth individuals enhance and future-proof their physical security programs.
Since 2014, Andrew has been at the forefront of Commercial Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) initiatives, building some of the earliest UAS risk assessment practices in the private sector. His work focuses on developing industry-leading airspace security strategies, physical security design best practices, and advancing sensor fusion technologies to protect critical environments against drone threats. Andrew has supported some of the world's largest technology firms in shaping and maturing their C-UAS programs to address evolving risks.
With a strong background in both operational security and innovative technology integration, Andrew continues to drive thought leadership in enterprise security risk management, security technology testing, and the convergence of physical and airspace protection strategies.

Outline
- Current risks and threats posed by UAS to commercial enterprises
- Legal review of domestic laws governing UAS operations and Counter-UAS efforts
- The value of a Drone Vulnerability Risk Assessment (DVRA)
- Immediate actions businesses can take—leveraging technology, education, and physical security design
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the most common drone-related threats facing businesses today and understand how these risks are evolving.
- Understand the current domestic legal framework regulating UAS operations and Counter-UAS responses, and how it impacts commercial security strategies.
- Recognize the value of conducting a Drone Vulnerability Risk Assessment and how it contributes to a stronger overall security posture.
- Evaluate available detection and mitigation technologies and integrate them into physical security designs to better protect people, assets, and operations.
