Horizontal issues
Horizontal issues are cross-cutting themes relevant to multiple security research areas.
They include:
- Foresight studies on security threats and roadmaps;
- Standardisation, testing and certification;
- Communication and ICT systems;
- Resilience.
Horizontal issues are important drivers for the further consolidation of the Community of Users and are a general fixture of the CoU meetings and workshops.
