Towards a More Secure Future

One of Europe‘s main objectives is to preserve its values as an open society, including respect for fundamental rights and freedom, while counteracting increased and diversified security threats.

Natural disasters and technological accidents, but also terrorism, organized crime and sabotage can cause serious damage and disruption with long-lasting consequences for economy and quality of life. Secure energy and transportation networks, internet and telecommunication services, provision of food and healthcare are vital prerequisites for everyday life in our highly networked society.

Despite using robust technologies, our supply chains and networks are most vulnerable to even just small disruptions. Global mobility facilitates the spread of crime and terrorism as well as of diseases and makes them challenging to control. To achieve sustainable success in civil security the development and implementation of new security technologies are mandatory.
