The CyberNEMO project joined forces with INTACT, CASTOR, and MIRANDA for the first meeting of the European Cybersecurity Cluster, held on October 6th. This collaborative exchange was designed to identify synergies, explore joint opportunities, and align shared goals among the participating projects. The meeting brought together experts and coordinators from all four initiatives, each dedicated to advancing Europe’s cybersecurity resilience through cutting-edge research, innovation, and real-world implementation.

CyberNEMO vision and objectives have been presented. Specifically, the project aims to enhance resilience, risk preparedness, awareness, detection, and mitigation in Critical Infrastructures and supply chains. The project delivers full-stack, end-to-end protection—from low-level Zero-Trust Network Access to human-AI explainable Situation Perception, Comprehension & Protection (SPCP) tools—alongside collaborative microservices for auditing, certification, and accreditation, and a pan-European platform for shared risk assessment, threat analysis, and incident mitigation (SAAM).

As the discussions progressed, participants identified several promising avenues for collaboration. They expressed strong interest in pursuing future joint calls and complementary research initiatives, while INTACT and CyberNEMO agreed to maintain their dialogue during their upcoming plenary meetings, which will take place concurrently at the same venue. Another key area of potential cooperation is standardization, where the exchange of expertise among projects could significantly accelerate the development of harmonized frameworks and enhance interoperability across the European cybersecurity landscape.

The meeting concluded with a shared understanding that collaboration is essential to advancing Europe’s cybersecurity landscape in an increasingly interconnected world.
