Digital Europe: Development and Deployment of Advanced Key Technologies

Conditions

This grant aims to strengthen cybersecurity capabilities using new technologies. This includes incorporating and integrating implementations of new tools, systems and services for threat detection, incident response, malware protection, vulnerability management and data protection.

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

• Real-time Monitoring and Incident Response: rapid recognition of and response to security incidents through continuous network monitoring, alarm systems and automated response mechanisms.
• Malware Defence and Analysis: mitigate malware threats by analysing code behaviour, examining network traffic, and assessing file characteristics to make it more difficult for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities.
• Proactive Vulnerability Management: proactively investigate and address vulnerabilities in computer systems through automated vulnerability scans. The aim is to find potential threats before they can be exploited.
• Data Protection and Anomaly Detection: secure sensitive data by investigating access patterns and identifying abnormal behaviour to mitigate data breaches and protect critical information.
• Incident investigation to clarify the cause, scope and consequences of security incidents or data breaches.
• Data Utilisation with Privacy: supporting organisations to collect data for analysis and insights with techniques that ensure data security and respect privacy, such as anonymisation and de-identification.

Submission criteria

Submitting in a consortium is not mandatory. However, we recommend you to consider submitting in a consortium. This is because the description of the subsidy states that a consortium proposal can increase the impact of the action.
