Underutilised lessons learned culture

Capability Gap [2.CGF.16] Underutilised lessons learned culture Background Another gap that surfaced from the practitioners’ workshop is related with the overall lessons learnt process. More specifically, the need for the adoption of a solid approach to efficiently exploit lessons learnt from past events and other EU MS was identified. Knowledge developed from dealing with similar …

Lack of a multi-sectoral ecosystem for security solutions.

Capability Gap [2.CGF.12] Lack of a multi-sectoral ecosystem for security solutions. Background Security practitioners need solutions and products with open/common interconnection interfaces for systems that will be deployed in the borders. Further to Capability Gap No 2.CGF.11: Absence of security solution standardisation and certification, an approach is required to interconnect (with minimum effort) solutions from …

Absence of a security solution standardisation and certification

Capability Gap [2.CGF.11] Absence of security solution standardisation and certification Background Practitioners highlighted the lack of commonly accepted and used technology standards for the security solutions deployed. Currently the security solutions are standardised as stand-alone systems. Most of the security solutions are vendor specific and not standardised / certified for deployment and interworking with existing …
