In 2011, with the adoption of the Basic Regulation, an agency under the European Union  (EU) was set up: European Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA). The agency became operational in December 2012 and was headquartered in Tallinn, with Strasbourg as its main location and Sank Johann im Pongau as the location of its back-up systems. eu-LISA’s main task was the management of large-scale internal security IT systems important for the European Union.

In our current issue, entitled ‘Old and New Threats – challenges for internal security’, eight articles with authors from Estonia, Poland, Romania, and the Czech Republic focus on different types of security threats and challenges in addition to other relevant topics related to security issues and security environment.
