EU call: National Cyber Hubs

Expected Outcome: World-class National Cyber Hubs across the Union, supported by state-of-the-art technology, acting as clearing houses for detecting, gathering and storing data on cybersecurity threats, analysing this data, and sharing and reporting CTI, reviews and analyses, taking into account well-established standards for sharing and automation processes. Threat intelligence and situational awareness capabilities and capacity building supporting strengthened collaboration between cybersecurity actors, including private and public actors. • Targeted training courses on the basis of the ECSF to improve the capacity of cyber security roles. • Applications for automated notification of private and public actors about compromised or insecure systems Objective: Where a Member State decides to participate in the European Cybersecurity Alert System, it shall designate or, where applicable, establish a National Cyber Hub, a single entity acting under the authority of the Member State. National Cyber Hubs have the capacity to act as a reference point and gateway to other public and private organisations at national level for collecting and analysing information on cyber threats and incidents and to contribute to a Cross-Border Cyber Hub. They are capable of detecting, aggregating, and analysing data and information relevant to cyber threats and incidents, such as cyber threat intelligence, by using in particular state-of-the-art technologies, and with the aim of preventing incidents. For the following programming cycle, the emphasis is on continuation of activities initiated during past years. The objective is to create or strengthen National Cyber Hubs, with state-of-the-art tools for monitoring, understanding and proactively managing cyber events, in close collaboration with relevant entities such as CSIRTs, ISACs, etc. They will also, where possible, benefit from information and feeds from other Cyber Hubs in their countries and use the aggregated data and…
