Creating Interoperability Through Technological Development

• Europe is facing new threats, more diverse, less predictable – New York September 11, Madrid March 11, London summer ’05, ………

• EU Enlargement leads to increased population, increased territory and direct borders with less stable regions

• Need to invest in a European “security culture” supported by a credible EU industry

• Need to address fragmentation and capitalise on existing RTD activities, capabilities and competences

• Need to develop synergies between civil and military research, between public and private sector

• Need to stimulate coherence, coordination and investment

Security challenges today:

328 June 2006 Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) - CEN

Why EU Security Research ?• To support CFSP and to achieve a high level of security within a EU

wide area of Justice, Freedom and Security.• To contribute to developing technologies and capabilities in support of

other EU policies such as transport, civil protection, energy and environment.

• To contribute, through technology and innovation, to reinforcing the competitiveness of European security industry

• To exploit synergies & dualities between civil / security / defence sectors as well as between public / private research sectors

• To coordinate efforts and reduce fragmentation & duplication• To stimulate investment in technology (Barcelona objective of 3% of

GDP for research) and hence contribute to the Lisbon objective

PREPARATORY ACTION on Security Research (PASR)

• An immediate response from the Commission to the requests coming from the Council, from the European Parliament and from industry.

• With the ultimate goal of preparing the a fully-fledged programme to advance security of European Citizens through research and technology from 2007

General Principles for Security Research• Dual Objective:

– Contributing to the security of citizens– Industrial competitiveness

• Individual rights, public liberties and democratic values to be taken into account

• Activities to be mission-oriented in order to develop technologies necessary to meet capability requirements

• Activities to complement & integrate technology and system-oriented research carried out in other themes

• Programme to be flexible to accommodate unknown future security threats and possible new policy requirements.

• Cross-fertilisation with other research sectors and development of multi-purpose technologies to be stimulated

• Cooperation between providers (industry) and users (public authorities) of security solutions to be encouraged

1128 June 2006 Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) - CEN

4 Main missions1. Protection against terrorism and crime

– Technology solutions for threat awareness (e.g. CBRN)

– Detection, prevention, identification, protection, neutralisation and containment of effects of terrorism & crime

2. Security of infrastructures and utilities– Analysing & securing existing & future infrastructures, systems and

services

3. Border security– Technologies & capabilities to enhance security of land & coastal

boarders, including border control & surveillance issues

4. Restoring security in case of crisis– Technologies to support emergency management operations, inter-

organisational coordination & communication, distributed architectures & human factors

1228 June 2006 Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) - CEN

3 Cross-cutting areas

1. Security Systems Integration & Interoperability– Technologies to enhance interoperability of systems, equipment,

services & processes

– Organisation, protection of confidentiality & integrity of information, traceability of transactions, processing

2. Security and Society– Socio economic aspects related to crime, perception of security, ethics,

privacy, societal foresight

– Safeguarding privacy & liberties, vulnerabilities, new threats, management & impact assessment of consequences

3. Security Research Coordination & Structuring– Coordination of security research efforts, development of synergies

(civil/security/defence), legal conditions, use of infrastructures

Research Paths

1428 June 2006 Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) - CEN

Relations with the EDA

• Common objective of the cooperation: increase the efficiency of EU action by encouraging synergies/avoiding duplication

• Full association of the EDA in all Commission initiatives and reciprocally

• ESRAB will advise the Commission on the substance and the implementation of security part of FP7 at the level of the specific program and the work program

• EDA participant in ESRAB will be the central coordination focal point to ensure coordination

1528 June 2006 Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) - CEN

Complementarity

• Principle of Complementarity– to other parts of FP7 – to other activities in the EU

• Security-mission oriented research• Technological development in so far the

application of these technologies are ‘security specific’

• Bridging the gap between civil & defence & security research

1628 June 2006 Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) - CEN

Main messages• Security is pre-condition for Europe’s growth and

competitiveness• Technology alone will not solve all security problems but

security without the use of technology is impossible• Security research will centre on meeting commonly defined

end-user requirements• Research with civil application focus but full transparency

with EDA• Need for balance between protection of civil

liberties/freedoms and security needs• Research is not an end it itself – standards, regulation etc..

1728 June 2006 Network and Information Security Steering Group (NISSG) - CEN

Security Research Roadmap• Continue Preparatory Action PASR (2006)• Prepare security research agenda for FP7, specific

programme and overall governance with the help of – ESRAB– other security “user” DGs within the Commission– EDA, and– in consultation with MS

• Define cooperation with EDA• Establish specific implementation rules (e.g. contract

aspects, funding level, handling of classified information, participation)

• FP7 approval: end of 2006• Launch of first call: 2007
