Cybersecure tools, technologies and services relying on AI
Funds tool and service providers to build AI-powered cyber-threat-intelligence and detection tools for national Cyber Hubs, CSIRTs and other authorities.
Cybersecure tools, technologies and services relying on AI is a European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) grant, part of the ECCC's Deploying Strategic Cyber Capabilities Across Europe call, that funds tool and service providers to build AI-powered cyber-threat-intelligence and detection tools for national Cyber Hubs, CSIRTs and other authorities. It runs as a single-stage Digital Europe JU …
This call funds AI-based cybersecurity tools for national authorities such as Cyber Hubs, CSIRTs and NIS 2-scope public and private entities, covering threat detection, malware analysis, automated incident response and self-healing recovery. Proposed AI solutions must themselves be secure and comply with the AI Act, IP law and GDPR.
