What do stakeholders expect from the Cybersecurity Competence Network Centre pilot projects?

As EU institutions discuss the EC proposal for a regulation establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres, four pilot projects are starting to experiment on some core building blocks. These include cybersecurity governance in Europe, the application of cybersecurity research to critical industry sectors, the availability, evaluation and usage of open tools for cybersecurity, and the creation of a cybersecurity research roadmap.

CyberSec4Europe is one of those pilots and was delighted to invite project partners and supporters to an evening celebrating the start of the project, featuring posters on vertical application area tasks (WP 5) and open security (WP 7)
