@HybridCoE @eu_eeas @EUSec_Defence @Armada_esp @MarinhaPT Threats & Vulnerabilities of critical #maritime Infrastructures are a combination of issues from the past, present & future

-Prime target for maritime hybrid threat actors
-Maritime industry increasingly reliant on digital systems & technologies, risk of hybrid threats rises

@HybridCoE @eu_eeas @EUSec_Defence @Armada_esp @MarinhaPT -Complexity of CMI & stakeholders, make awareness and shared understanding of threats harder.
-Use of outdated or insufficient security mechanisms may expose maritime facilities to vulnerabilities.
-Threats posed by organised crime, terrorism, and state actors.

@HybridCoE @eu_eeas @EUSec_Defence @Armada_esp @MarinhaPT @EU_MARE @EMSA_EU Very interesting discussions on Governance Challenges – Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection - at #CMIP23

With a multitude of #maritime infrastructure protection configuration mixes including public, private and military actors - how can governance of CMI be improved?

@HybridCoE @eu_eeas @EUSec_Defence @Armada_esp @MarinhaPT @EU_MARE @EMSA_EU @uniofgalway @SubseaCables #CMIP23
- Risk that European CMIP governance remains ‘siloized’ between multiple maritime security actors.
-CMIP needs to be integrated with wider maritime security policies
- Strategic focus on deterrence and prevention of threats to CMIP needed

@HybridCoE @eu_eeas @EUSec_Defence @Armada_esp @MarinhaPT @EU_MARE @EMSA_EU @uniofgalway @SubseaCables - Collaboration & #innovation play a critical role in the improvement of overall governance
- Today's approach scatters protection into territorial zones w/ very different responsibilities, resources and capabilities, hindering a coherent protection for entire infrastructure.
