  1. Crisis management related research at Information Technology for Security Department

  2. IT for Security Department • Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, http://iict.bas.bg • IT4Sec Department, www.IT4Sec.org • Centre for Security and Defence Management • Joint Training, Simulation and Analysis Centre • Strategic Security and Defence Management site • Information and Security: An International Journal, http://procon.bg/view-volumes

  3. Our research goals in the CMDR domain • To integrate crisis management and disaster response into national security strategy and policy. • To build a domestic-international domain. • To work on international co-operation through the prism of regional security complexes. • To motivate escalated interagency collaboration on the formula: complexity of the task and environment + heterogeneous entities = interagency effort. • To work on CMDR architecture optimizing centralization and decentralization. • To generate integrated methodology for capability based planning throughout the CMDR domain. • Effectively to train leaders and large staff using modeling and simulations

  4. Our portfolio: • Foresight-based strategy and capability planning, with account of the evolving comprehensive approach • Capability development in a strategic management framework • Support to training • Related research activities • Knowledge dissemination • Maintain competitive advantages

  5. Foresight • Experience: • FOCUS (FP7, 2011-2013) - Foresight Security Scenarios: Mapping Research to a Comprehensive Approach to Exogenous EU Roles (with 13 participants from 8 countries) –http://www.focusproject.eu/web/focus/home • Our contribution • Context Scenarios and Alternative Future EU Roles as a Global Security Actor • Analytical support to foresight the EU roles as a Global Security Actor • Evaluating the Cross-impact of EU Functions as a Global Actor and Protector of Critical Infrastructures and Supply Chains • Forthcoming research: The evolving concept of security: A critical evaluation across four dimensions (EvoCS, FP7, 2014-2015)

  6. Crisis Management systems & CIP • Experience: • From National to Societal Security: Scientific Support to Effective Transformation of the Security Sector • Civil Security – Architectural Approach in Emergency Management Transformation • Methodology for Modeling, Analysis of Critical Infrastructure, Identification of Interdependencies, Assessment of Vulnerability and Planning of Capabilities for Protection • Chrishope – a GMF project for consequence management and early recovery reference model development in the GBSA (2011) • Forthcoming: DRIVER – DRivingInnoVation in crisis management for European Resilience, aiming to provide: • European testbed for CM capability development • well-balanced comprehensive portfolio of CM tools • shared understanding of Crisis Management, share capabilities and collaborate across Europe • an evidence-base for CM capability investment decisions • 38 partners, 4.5 years (starting in early 2014)

  7. Policy support • Awareness of cyber risks and threats • Defining capability requirements and assignment of responsibilities • Defining ‘Rules of Engagement’ • Including preservation of human rights and freedoms • Coordination & Cooperation • Operations, Training • Capabilities development • Allocation of resources • Provision of transparency, accountability, integrity

  8. Capability development • Methodology for capability-based planning in defence • Advances in application across the security sector, in an interagency setting • Implementation of capability development plans in a strategic security and defence management framework • Transparency and integrity of decision making and management processes

  9. Specific topics • Interplay between cyber security and the protection of critical infrastructures • Integrity, transparency and accountability in the management of public investments • Gaming: training senior and mid-level personnel in policy making and programme-based capability development (‘G.S. Rakovski’ DSC, Ukraine, South Caucasus, contribution to the EDA game) • Complex mathematical models, e.g. forest fires

  10. NATO RTO MSG-049 M&S System for Emergency Response Planning & Training

  13. MONITOR II http://www.monitor2.org Particiapating SEE countrntries: Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia

  14. Some Cybersecurity activities

  15. Knowledge Dissemination • Information & Security: An International Journal, www.procon.bg/vies-volumes • v.28: Critical Infrastructures Safety and Security • v.27: C4ISR in the Comprehensive Approach, Guest Editor: George D’holander, NC3A (NCIA) General manager • v.17: Homeland/ Societal Security, etc. • Interested in cooperating with the CMDR CoE and publishing original research and policy papers in special issues of I&S

  16. Competitive advantages • Combination of sound research with decision-making and management experience at most senior governmental levels • Solid network of national and international partners, both in research and high-tech business

  17. Conclusion: a common set of questions • What should a holistic crisis management concept consist of? What institutions, structures and processes are needed to ensure effective coordination and cooperation in the case of crisis at national level? • - What current challenges and emerging questions do crisis organizations face in case of strategic crisis where national inter-agency crisis management is needed? • - What are the new approaches to crisis preparation and crisis responses regarding inter-agency crisis management concepts? • - Is there a need to establish international principles for country crisis management?
