Digital Europe: Call for Expression of Interest on National SOC's

Conditions

Projects should contribute to one or more of the following goals:

• Increased capacity for new or existing national SOCs, such as equipment, tools and data inputs, and funding for data analysis and collaboration with SOC platforms in other countries.
• Using state-of-the-art technology, such as artificial intelligence and dynamic learning of the threat landscape and context. This also involves using shared cyber security intelligence and hardware to ensure secure information sharing and storage.
• Key element is translating research results from advanced AI/ML, data analysis, and other relevant cybersecurity tools into operational tools, and their further testing and validation.
• Knowledge transfer, such as training cybersecurity analysts. SOCs dealing with critical infrastructure play a key role and should benefit from existing knowledge and experience of national SOCs.

Where possible, SOCs leverage information and feeds from other SOCs to use aggregated data and analysis for early warnings to targeted critical infrastructures on a need-to-know basis.
