Abstract
Transport is one of the most important economic sectors in Europe with its infrastructure being essential for the functioning of the entire society. Directive 2008/114/EC outlines the approach Member States are required to follow to identify, designate, and protect European Critical Infrastructures also in the transport sector. The paper illustrates a benchmarking methodology which could be used to assess security in terms of awareness, preparedness and maturity in operators belonging to transport sub-sectors. The final goal is to provide a relevant informative base, taking into consideration sub-sector differences useful to enhance awareness in security in the transport sector.

Notes
- 1.
Transport operators are intended as the organizations performing functions for the production and delivery of transport services (e.g. carriers, infrastructure managers, terminal/port/airport managers).
- 2.
This benchmarking methodology is part of the research activities carried out by AMLETO project (Assessing security awareness and increasing maturity level of transport operators to strengthen Critical Infrastructure Protection) co-funded by the EC DG Home Affairs under the “Prevention, preparedness and consequence management of terrorism and other security-related risks” Programme.
