fAcilitating Public & Private secuRity operAtors to mitigate terrorIsm Scenarios against soft targEts

APPRAISE aims to build on the latest advances in big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and advanced visualisation to create an integral security framework that will improve both the cyber/physical security and safety of public spaces by enabling a proactive, integrated, risk-based, and resilience-oriented approach. This framework will be designed to support the secured private-public collaboration and optimise the coordination of operations involving private security staff, private operators, and law enforcement agencies.

APPRAISE will offer unprecedented capabilities to predict and identify criminal and terrorist acts and enhance the operational collaboration of security actors before, during, and after an incident occurs. Social, Ethical, Legal, and Privacy observatories bringing together LEAs, private operators, technology experts, psychologists, sociologists, and society representatives will ensure full conformity of the developed tools with current EU legislation and citizens’ acceptance, preparing the ground for successful exploitation.

APPRAISE will demonstrate its solutions in four complementary pilot sites:

1. a tennis tournament in Italy,
2. a transnational cycling tour with stages in France and Spain,
3. an international fair in Poland, and
4. a mall in Slovenia.
