Project description
Cyber security competence centres for Europe
Faced with ever-increasing cybersecurity challenges, the European Union is committed to improving its awareness and response to cyber-attacks aimed at Member States or its institutions. CyberSec4Europe aims to boost defences within the vertical sectors of digital infrastructure, finance, government, transport, health and smart cities. The project will utilise practical experience gained during the course of CyberSec4Europe to develop a specialised roadmap and recommendations for the implementation of network competence centres. CyberSec4Europe is a research-based consortium with a total of 44 participants from 21 EU Member States and associated countries. It has received scores of support letters and pledges of cooperation from public administrations, international organisations, and key associations worldwide, including Europe (e.g. ECSO), Asia, and North America.
Objective
CyberSec4Europe is a research-based consortium with 44 participants covering 21 EU Member States and Associated Countries. It has received more than 40 support letters and promises of cooperation from public administrations, international organisations, and key associations worldwide including Europe (such as ECSO), Asia, and North America. As pilot for a Cybersecurity Competence Network, it will test and demonstrate potential governance structures for the network of competence centres using the best practices examples from the expertise and experience of the participants, including concepts like CERN. CyberSec4Europe will support addressing key EU Directives and Regulations, such as GDPR, PSD2, eIDAS, and ePrivacy, and help to implement the EU Cybersecurity Act including, but not limited to supporting the development of the European skills-base, the certification framework and ENISA’s role. The 26 ECSO participants in CyberSec4Europe are active in all 6 ECSO Working Groups, including chairing many subgroups in cybersecurity certification, vertical sectors, and international cooperation, as well as having representatives on the ECSO Board of Directors and the Cybersecurity Public-Private Partnership Board. CyberSec4Europe participants address 14 key cybersecurity domain areas, 11 technology/applications elements and nine crucial vertical sectors. With over 100 cybersecurity projects, CyberSec4Europe participants have been addressing a comprehensive set of issues across the cybersecurity domain. The project demonstration cases will address cybersecurity challenges within the vertical sectors of digital infrastructure, finance, government and smart cities, health and medicine and transportation. In addition to the demonstration of the governance structure and the operation of the network, CyberSec4Europe will develop a roadmap and recommendations for the implementation of the Network of Competence Centres using the practical experience gained in the project.
