About the session

The new CEN Standard for Private Security Services in CIP – Catherine Piana, COESS.

Session 4: PPP & Collaboration in CIP

With many critical infrastructures in the hands of private organisations, how does the responsibility of security and resilience lie between government, with public accountability to keep them safe, secure and operational 24/7, and the private operator, with additional responsibilities towards shareholders? How can improving the communication between the public sector and private sector enhance protection and can incentives be employed to better engage private owners into PPP?
