3. SPACE Hellas Role in CyberNEMO

In the CyberNEMO project, SPACE Hellas leverages its extensive experience in security orchestration to lead the development of the Computing Continuum Access Security Broker (CASB) component. Acting as a strategic technical partner, SPACE Hellas is responsible for the architectural design and implementation of this critical security layer, which ensures protected data flows across the project’s meta-Operating System.

Beyond its technical leadership in Task 3.3, the organization plays a horizontal role in ensuring system-wide interoperability.
