Current maritime security practices mainly provide landside security measures but the waterside security issues are not always that clearly defined, and solutions are even more situation-specific than terrestrial ones.  Waterside security includes a range of activities of preventive character, ultimately aiming at controlling who and what enters the perimeter from the water. It includes crews, passengers and cargo entering on-board large announced vessels, on-board small unannounced surface crafts, swimmers, divers or small submersibles, aerial drone, underwater drones, and even under-keel appendices commonly used for smuggling and, potentially, for terrorism.  Nature also plays a big role: floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and even wild animals such as sharks or whales can constitute a life-threatening hazard to humans.

CABIBBE brings together over 300 years of cumulative experience in maritime multi-hazard risk management, and empowers coastal communities, local businesses, corporations, government agencies and the military by creating innovative projects for the protection of the waterside, surface or underwater, of facilities, vessels, and maritime installations in general, and by deploying bleeding-edge technologies to achieve a common prosperity and an unprecedented level of societal resilience.
