Projects about Cybersecurity

By the occasion of the International Women's Day, SPARTA Project issued A Best-Practices Guide to Attract and Retain Women in Cybersecurity Teams.

Teachers can play a major role in raising the awareness among their pupils about Cybersecurity and in spreading and disseminating a risk-prevention culture. While they are more and more sensitive to Cybersecurity issues and have started to acquire fundamental notions in this area, there is a need for a structured approach to teach cybersecurity related topics to young Europeans.

To support cybersecurity education, testing and certification, CyberSec4Europe partner, CSIRT-MU (Masaryk University), has delivered the Cyber Sandbox Creator - a versatile tool for creating lightweight virtual labs. The Cyber Sandbox Creator builds isolated lab environments for cybersecurity training, experimentation, or testing based on user input.

The T-SHARK Program, part of the SPARTA Cybersecurity Competence Network, aims to develop and validate methodological, organisational and technological solutions, thereby extending cybersecurity to achieve a comprehensive organisation of security functions that focus on threat prediction and full-spectrum cybersecurity awareness, providing high situational awareness and timely warning of threats. T-SHARK and 19 of its partners have focused efforts on the question of delivering full-spectrum cybersecurity awareness to inform decision and policymakers on broad, long-term issues.

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) based on Internet of Things (IoT) and virtualised cloud architectures present new and unexpected risks that can’t be completely solved by current state-of-the-art security solutions. The EU-funded project ANASTACIA introduced a solution providing utmost security and trust.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced robotics are opening new horizons in all sectors of industry, in terms of both developing novel manufacturing techniques, as well as overhauling the interaction between human workers and automated tools. A CORDIS Results Pack presents the first innovative results of 13 ongoing (or recently finished) Horizon 2020 projects that are leading the way in embedding AI applications into industry.

The GHOST project aims to deliver a disruptive software-enabled security network solution for smart-home occupants through a smart gateway by integrating state-of-the art technologies.

Security teams need greater cyber defence capabilities to raise their level of awareness of the risk posed by cyberattacks and to improve their capacity to respond to threats. An EU initiative has developed a comprehensive solution to improve an organisation’s ongoing awareness of the risk to its business operations.

COMPACT is an EU-funded project, that aims to strengthen the cyber-resilience of local public administrations (LPAs). To achieve this goal, the project will offer risk assessment tools, education services, monitoring services and knowledge sharing services. The COMPACT solution will be made available on an integrated platform, which will offer a high degree of usability and automation.

The EU-funded HERMENEUT project enables organisations to better evaluate their exposure to cyber risks, and the impact that cyberattacks would have on an organisation’s assets by estimating the potential financial losses.
