What is EOS

The European Organisation for Security (EOS)

is the voice of the European security industry

and research community. Operating in 15

different countries, EOS Members provide

security research, solutions, and services

across many security domains, including:

Soft Target & Critical Infrastructure

Protection, Transport Security, Border

Security and Cybersecurity.

Man-Made Hazards

• This presentation will focus on the risk management of man-made technological hazards

• Technological hazards, according to the UN Office for DisasterRisk Reduction are those that originate from technological orindustrial conditions, dangerous procedures, infrastructurefailures or specific human activities, such as nuclear, chemicalor transport accidents

• While a greater weight is given in this presentation to thesecurity dimension of these hazards, the considerations are,from a technological stand-point, largely applicable also tosafety considerations

• The security perspective introduces an intelligent maliciouselement in the risk management equation

5

A Comprehensive Approach

• Managing man-made hazards is as much a matter ofdeployment of technological solutions as it is of processesimplementation

• Therefore, a comprehensive approach is necessary toeffectively prevent, manage and recover from man-madeaccidents

• Such a comprehensive approach must rely on a frameworkwhich includes Risk Analysis, Prevention and Protectionsolutions, Assessment and Process Validation

• The preliminary risk analysis phase is particularly important asit allows to define priorities, according to cost-benefitconsiderations, for capability development and deployment

A Comprehensive Approach

Capabilities deployment

• Capabilities development and deployment must be approachedfrom a system perspective integrating evaluation of the threat,budget considerations, technological requirements andenvironmental conditions

• In the different phases of an accident it is key to be able toprocess vast amount of data in order to produce reliable andactionable information

• Seamless integration of different technologies requires a focuson standards and interoperability

• From a security perspective it is important to ensure also areasonable degree of European autonomy when deployingtechnological solutions

Integrated System approach

11

Integrated System approach

• Technology solutions produce also false alarms: need todevelop protocols

- Alarm resolution/search takes time, space and staff

- Can’t evacuate without very good reason

• Technology must work in different and complex environments

• Performance monitoring and verification of complianceshould be regularly conducted

• Training of staff is key, and also large scale exercises at the EUlevel

• End-users and Industry need to work in partnership tooptimize requirements

Technology/Process Considerations

12

• Definition of requirements and procurement of capabilitiesare key to foster innovation in the DRM domain

• Research & Development activities must be finalized atclosing technological gaps in order to ensure deployment ofstate-of the-art capabilities

• Research and innovation are functional to respond to market(end-users) needs

• Definition of requirements and standards, funding ofcapacities and R&I financing to be realized through PublicPrivate cooperation and dialogue
