The aim of this webinar is to provide law enforcement, counterterrorism professionals, and critical infrastructure security personnel with insights into the evolving threat landscape, where emerging technologies and sophisticated tools are being leveraged by malicious actors to target key infrastructure sectors (focused on UAV’s). The session will cover both cyber and physical threats and outline strategies for detection, prevention, and response.

This webinar is implemented by the CEPOL Knowledge Centre on Counter-terrorism.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• highlight the latest developments in drone technology and emerging threats;
• identify risk assessment and countermeasure strategies for law enforcement and security agencies;
• recognise the increasing cooperation between law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and other key stakeholders in countering drone-related threats;
• discuss challenges, lessons learned and best practices using case studies of security incidents involving drones, including terrorism-related concerns.
