Cyber threats are pertinent to everyone who uses the internet today – any online presence exposes a user to potential attacks from malware, botnets or other sources. Ordinary people and SMEs are particularly vulnerable as they lack the required knowledge to defend themselves.

In response, the EU-funded SISSDEN project is working on a data collection and sharing system which would make information available to all about potential threats and how to deal with them – at no cost. The project consortium is creating, deploying and operating a worldwide network of sensors that will collect threat data with the use of honeypot and darknet technologies.
