Building Cross-Border Cybersecurity and Compliance for a Safer Digital Europe

ongoing

The CYBER-BRIDGE project addresses the European Commission's DIGITAL-ECCC-2024-DEPLOY-CYBER-07-CYBERSEC-02 call by establishing a framework for EU cross-border cybersecurity cooperation. Aligned with NIS2, the Cybersecurity Act, and the Cyber Resilience Act, it enhances threat intelligence sharing, incident management, and regulatory compliance across Member States. CYBER-BRIDGE will develop AI-powered tools supporting SMEs, SOCs, critical infrastructure operators, and law enforcement in managing cybersecurity risks. The project delivers sector-specific solutions, best practices, and training resources focused on threat intelligence sharing, incident response, compliance tracking, and forensic analysis. Central to the project is an AI-powered platform serving as a hub for real-time threat intelligence, compliance tracking, and forensic analysis, with guidance on NIS2, CRA, and GDPR compliance. Building on CyberFort's tools, it expands capabilities for automated compliance verification, AI-driven risk assessment, real-time reporting, and cross-border incident detection, while integrating sector-specific training modules. CYBER-BRIDGE focuses on five research areas: Cross-Border Threat Intelligence Sharing through AI-driven solutions for real-time intelligence exchange; Incident Response Systems creating secure frameworks for cross-border notification aligned with NIS2; Automated Compliance Tools designed as user-friendly solutions simplifying regulatory requirements; Forensic Tools enabling secure cross-jurisdictional digital evidence collection compliant with GDPR; and Training Programs developing sector-specific modules for cybersecurity capacity building. This initiative will provide EU Stakeholders with tools to enhance cybersecurity posture, ensure regulatory compliance, and facilitate collaboration addressing evolving cyber threats, ultimately strengthening resilience across the EU's digital landscape.
