Jaime Martín Pérez, Project coordinator

2. Project: EC’s DG HOME CIPS programme
Introduction
Project: EC’s DG HOME CIPS programme
- Co-funded by the Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management of Terrorism and other Security-related Risks Programme of the European Union
- Grant Agreement: CIRAS (HOME/2013/CIPS/AG/ )
Aim: to protect citizen and CIs from terrorist attacks and other security incidents.
Duration: 2 years (Sept, 2014 – Sept, 2016)
Total funding: circa 700k Eur
Directorate-General (DG) Migration and Home Affairs
Terrorism & other Security-related Risks (CIPS)
The Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management of Terrorism and other Security-related Risks (CIPS) programme is designed to protect citizens and critical infrastructures from terrorist attacks and other security incidents.
It does this by fostering prevention and preparedness, particularly by improving the protection of critical infrastructures. At the same time, projects address consequence management – a key component for the smooth coordination of crisis management and security actions, in particular following terrorist attacks.

4. Where does CIRAS come from?
ValueSec Project
FP7-Topic SEC Cost-benefit analysis of the present and future security measures in Europe
Duration: 3 years (Feb, 2011 – Jan, 2014)
Budget: €
Aim: support decision making processes with a toolset assessing security measures from different perspectives including societal, economic and political points of view
CIRAS has its origin in another EU research project called ValueSec. Our reserach started from the last outcomes and results from it

5. ValueSec decision framework

Aggregated results
#1 Public mass event
RRA – Risk Reduction Assessment
#2 Mass transportation
CBA – Cost-Benefit Assessment
#3 Air transport/airport
QCA – Qualitative Criteria Assm.
#4 Communal security planning
#5 Cyber threats
Budget
Social values

6. CIRAS Project goals
Define a novel Risk Assessment and Management approach for critical infrastructures including:
Interdependencies
Cascading effects
Escalation of consequences
Focus on Assessment

7. CIRAS Project goals(II)
Provide a methodology and application for the assessment of risks in a wide range of CI considering several threats
Identification of needs  large aceptance
Help harmonisation of CIP processes in Europe

8. ValueSec pillars will be revisited to focus on CI
Link with ValueSec
ValueSec pillars will be revisited to focus on CI
Specific use cases for CIs will be prepared
focus on CIs
