National Cyber Hubs
Pays the entity a Member State designates under the Cyber Solidarity Act to build and run a National Cyber Hub for detecting and sharing cyber-threat data.
National Cyber Hubs are meant to act as a country's clearing house for cybersecurity threat data: detecting, gathering, storing and analysing cyber threat intelligence, then sharing and reporting it onward using established data-sharing and automation standards, and issuing early warnings to critical infrastructure operators on a need-to-know basis. Funded activity spans equipment, tools, data fee…
This call funds National Cyber Hubs — the single entity a Member State designates under the European Cybersecurity Alert System to collect, aggregate and analyse national cyber threat intelligence. Hubs use state-of-the-art tools including AI, coordinate with CSIRTs and ISACs, and must commit to joining a Cross-Border Cyber Hub within two years.
