Description

This Digital Europe Programme topic supports the development and deployment of AI-based cybersecurity systems, including generative AI, to strengthen European cybersecurity operations. It targets capabilities for National and Cross-Border Cyber Hubs, computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs), national cybersecurity centres, competent authorities and other relevant stakeholders. Expected results include tools tested and validated in relevant conditions, automated cybersecurity processes, and original European cyber threat intelligence (CTI) feeds or services.

Projects should improve threat and vulnerability detection, incident response, recovery and secure information sharing. The topic also addresses the security of AI itself, including risks during learning, supply-chain vulnerabilities and malicious misuse. Solutions should be robust, trustworthy and secure, comply with the AI Act, intellectual property legislation and GDPR, and contribute to standardisation and cybersecurity certification.
