Meet Our Partners: Spotlight on RAID 🌟👮‍♂️🚔 Today, we highlight RAID (Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence), the elite special unit of the French National Police and a crucial partner in our HECTOR project. Created in 1985 following several attacks, RAID is composed of 500 operators spread across France and its overseas territories via 16 sub-units. 🇫🇷🛡️ Under the command of the General Directorate of the National Police, RAID executes approximately 1,300 operations each year. Their mission is to combat organized crime, terrorism, barricaded armed persons, and hostage-taking. They also provide close protection to ambassadors in high-risk countries and secure major events. 🌍🤝 RAID's expertise shines during major crises, whether through negotiations or direct assaults. Notable operations include the Bataclan and the “terraces” incidents, as well as their critical role in evacuating the Kabul embassy in August 2021. 🙌💪 Learn more about RAID at: https://lnkd.in/e_ymSJi3 Stay tuned for more on our partners making Europe safer! 🚨🔗 #HectorProject #RAID #PublicSafety #PartnershipSuccess #EuropeanSecurity

#DC4EU presented the #LSP goals and use cases in the #education and #socialsecurity domains at the ETSI / CEN Workshop on EU #DigitalIdentity Framework Standards in Sophia Antipolis. The team highlighted the #TrustFrameworks, leveraging #dPKI and #OpenID Federation, focusing on managing X509 certificate issuance in complex ecosystems like education, and enabling #API-based access to more expressive metadata schemes for defining policies, permissions, and governance rules. At the DC4EU stand, the team demonstrated the issuance of #EHIC and #PDA1 credentials and showcased selective disclosure scenarios combining #PID and social security credentials. Additionally, DC4EU shared ideas with representatives from the #CSC group about a CSC profile tailored to the needs of #EUDIW issuers aimed at integrating remote #QES providers in a machine-to-machine manner.

✨ Three out of four Europeans support the use of #artificialintelligence by the #police and #military in Europe." How is #BusinessContinuity affected ? ✨ ✅ A recent survey shows that three out of four #Europeans support the use of #artificialintelligence (AI) by the #police and #military in #Europe. This strong support underscores the growing reliance on #AI technologies to improve safety and operational efficiency. The potential for #artificialintelligence to improve #surveillance, predict and prevent #crime, and assist in strategic #military planning is seen as a major asset. ✅ Embedding #AI in these areas also has #businesscontinuity implications. Enhanced security measures can lead to a more stable and predictable environment, which is beneficial for businesses. For example, AI-based #surveillance can reduce crime rates, leading to safer communities and, consequently, safer #business operations. In the #military, AI can streamline logistics and #strategic planning, ensuring critical infrastructure is protected and operational. ✅ However, the use of #artificialintelligence also raises concerns about privacy, ethical implications and potential for misuse. Businesses must address these challenges by ensuring regulatory compliance and maintaining transparency in their #AI applications. Strong oversight and #ethical guidelines are essential to #mitigate risks and build public trust. ✅ Overall, AI's support for law enforcement and #military operations highlights its potential to enhance #security and #stability, which are vital for #businesscontinuity in Europe.

A “large-scale cyber attack” has taken down local government services in several French municipalities. Dr. Ilia Kolochenko, CEO and Chief Architect of ImmuniWeb, comments the news for CPO Magazine: “Before and during the Olympics, French authorities should prepare for a surge of cyber-attacks that will probably greatly vary in sophistication, impact, and underlying goals. Script kiddies and newbies from hostile countries may apply their basic skills to massively attack the most unprotected targets, like websites of small municipalities that don’t even have an IT budget, let alone a cybersecurity one. On the other side, while French law enforcement agencies are overloaded with Olympics’ security, nation states and professional cyber mercenaries may well try to exploit the distraction and ballooning shortage of resources to compromise governmental and military systems to damage critical national infrastructure (CNI) or steal top-secret information. The French government should urgently allocate additional resources to the understaffed agencies to reduce the risk of a major, nation-wide cyber incident.” #cybersecurity #cybercrime #cyberattack #france #privacy https://lnkd.in/gPr6HUem
