The guide explores the vulnerabilities of CEI, particularly with the rise of new technologies and the increasing use of unmanned aircraft systems. It highlights the need for national and international cooperation; legal, institutional and operational frameworks; and public-private partnerships to strengthen resilience. Featuring case studies and good practices from around the world, it advocates for dynamic, risk management strategies and inter-agency coordination, essential for safeguarding CEI and promoting international security against terrorist threats.
