ZONeSEC event
Widezone Surveillance for Critical Infrastructure Protection
September 27th
2018
co-located with CRITIS 2018 conference at Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas (in English, Vytautas
Magnus University), Kaunas (Lithuania)
Introduction
Widezones around critical infrastructures (e.g. gas or oil pipelines, highways, electricity
networks, water supply networks) are defined as an area or stretch of land having a
particular characteristic, purpose, or use, or is subject to particular restrictions. A failure
or threat materialized at one critical point along the Widezone can compromise the
integrity of the critical infrastructures. The EU lacks affordable solutions for the
surveillance of widezones, but there are also other limitations, related to the complexity
and diversity of employed systems; their efficiency, robustness and resilience; their
compliance with EU policies and societal values, in particular data protection and privacy;
and the difficulty to coordinate surveillance activities in transboundary settings.
Conventional surveillance systems that mainly consist of a network of visual sensors and
one or more processing and storage nodes, are not directly applicable in wide area
zones, where a larger redundant number of sensors and cameras is necessary. More
recently, complex interconnected sensor systems are deployed in wide geographic
areas, which communicate collected data to storage servers with supporting software
services for aggregation, processing, decision making or alarms. ZONeSEC project
(http://www.zonesec.eu/) is a four year demonstration project finishing in November
2018 and the final result is a system-of-systems (with integration of new and legacy
sensors) for visualizing the critical infrastructure and the sensors deployed for widezone
surveillance, detecting illicit activities and alerting operators and other features.
ZONeSEC final event brings opportunity for sharing the results of four-year project, as
well as hearing about similar initiatives, analyzing joint possibilities for collaboration, and
discussing the future of widezone surveillance for critical infrastructure protection, in light
of the forthcoming challenges and technology trends.
