The main recipients are Member States, operators, competent authorities, and other key stakeholders in both public and private sectors dealing with critical infrastructure resilience, sectoral interdependencies and competitive security solutions.
The newsletter is a joint effort of the European Commission's Directorate-General Migration and Home Affairs (HOME) and Joint Research Centre (JRC).
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
