Project Objective
CIPHER project (Cybersecurity Intelligence, Protection, and Holistic Enterprise Resilience) aims to tackle and provide demonstrable solutions for security and information assurance in critical sectors by developing a collaborative, standardized and available-as-a-service testing facility for security strategies and enablers qualification contributing and aiming at fostering the compliance with the EU’s cybersecurity strategy for the Digital Decade. CIPHER’s laboratory develops and integrates an experimentation laboratory serving pre-emptive security capability contributing to increased preparedness. The project envisions associating a fabric of solution providers, essential service operators, and external auditors to build adapted, efficient and compliant security measures contributing to preparedness. CIPHER adopts a demanding evaluation strategy by involving in its consortium three internal use-case providers contributing to programmatic requirements identification and internal validation, and a two-step financial support to third party campaigns to deploy the CIPHER platform in real case validation settings. Communication Dissemination, Exploitation and Stakeholder Engagement activities ensure that preliminary and final project results are effectively shared with relevant ecosystems and communities.
