The maritime environment covers 70% of the earth, so it is evident that to fight the threats on the sea is not an easy task for any one country to accomplish alone. The new security challenges of the 21st century are of a different nature since they are not necessarily generated by countries with conventional weapons or geographically limited in certain areas. Globalization is increasing the range, scale and capabilities of the threats and also the likelihood of conflict involving non-state and failed-state actors. Asymmetric tactics such as economic, cyber and proxy actions instead of direct military confrontation will play an increasing part; therefore we must have the capacity to anticipate and protect against changing security challenges, from terrorism, cyberattacks, and the proliferation of CBRN weapons. The key to the success of countering the threats in the maritime environment is the coordinated and integrated efforts on both a national and international level; we have to act collectively to ensure global security and prosperity.
