CyberNEMO as part of the ECSCI cluster participated in the 2026 ECSCI cluster Webinar series aiming to empower the cross-project collaboration and promote the work carried out within the participating projects to a wider audience. In this context, Andreas Papadakis, representative of Synelixis the Project Coordinator of CyberNEMO, presented the project’s objectives and status within the framework of the second webinar of the ECSCI webinar series.

The key points that were stressed out throughout the presentation were:

• The key enablers of CyberNEMO.
• The challenges the project aims to address.
• The CyberNEMO components & their functionalities towards providing a concrete and concealed protection across the various functionalities of a modern ICT-CC platform.
• The importance of the existence of a well-built Risk assessment mechanism & a well established risk methodology.
• The validation domains that CyberNEMO framework is validated as well as the cross-domain CTI exchange through the SAAM platform.

The CyberNEMO consortium is meeting this week in Fornebu, Norway, for its 7th General Assembly, hosted by DNV.

This plenary gathering represents an important moment in the project’s evolution, bringing together partners to review progress, align on next steps, and reinforce collaboration across the consortium in the 2nd half of the project.

Discussions during the meeting focus on key areas such as AI-driven cybersecurity, risk assessment and mitigation, system integration, and validation of technologies in complex IoT–Edge–Cloud environments. The sessions also address the project’s broader impact, including dissemination, standardisation, and engagement with stakeholders.

A central objective of this General Assembly is to advance the integration of CyberNEMO components into a cohesive framework, moving from individual developments toward interoperable and scalable solutions for securing critical infrastructures.

Beyond the technical work, the meeting provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen collaboration, ensuring alignment and continuity as the project progresses toward its next milestones.

CyberNEMO partners (Synelixis and Maggioli) attended the webinar on Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Information Security in Edge-Cloud Applications, organized by CEI-Sphere and Large Scale Pilots O-CEI and COP-Pilot.

The webinar explored the growing challenge of securely sharing and processing data across distributed environments, from industrial platforms to smart infrastructures, where large numbers of devices, man-in-the-middle threats, and purpose limitation requirements create complex security landscapes. Protecting sensitive data today goes well beyond personal data as business data sovereignty is equally at stake.

Presentations from Fraunhofer ISST and insights from the O-CEI and COP-PILOT Large-Scale Pilots highlighted how technologies such as Federated Machine Learning (FML), Trusted Execution Environments, Homomorphic Encryption, and Zero-Knowledge Proofs can be embedded directly into system design. The “black sheep problem” in FML, identifying and mitigating malicious or corrupted participants in federated learning, is a as a shared concern directly relevant to CyberNEMO’s work on ZT-FML.

CyberNEMO identified synergies in two areas a) the Zero-Trust Federated Machine Learning (ZT-FML) and b) the use of LLMs and MCP-based architectures for privacy-aware decision support functionality.

The CyberNEMO project was present in the 3^rd meeting of the European Cybersecurity Cluster along with INTACT, CASTOR, and MIRANDA following the meeting that took place on January 16^th. This strategic gathering was scheduled to review the projects’ updates since their last meetup and align the shared goals of these leading EU-funded initiatives.

Among the various topics discussed, for CyberNEMO, the presentation of the CyberNEMO Decision Support component was an important milestone. In addition, the projects demonstrated significant interest in co-organizing a workshop in Paris this fall.

The exchange was further enriched by the introduction of three new projects to the cluster: Mediate, CoCyber and GuardAI, expanding the group’s collective expertise in securing the digital landscape.

From April 21 to April 23, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium, OCX gatherd open-source professionals, developers, architects, researchers, and industry leaders to explore the technologies, standards, and collaboration models shaping the future of open innovation.

CyberNEMO participated in the collocated event Open Community for Research .

The CyberNEMO consortium is meeting this week in Rome, Italy, for its 6th General Assembly, hosted by Engineering Ingegneria Informatica.

This plenary gathering represents an important moment in the project’s evolution, bringing together partners to review progress, align on next steps, and reinforce collaboration across the consortium in the view of the upcoming 1st half review.

Discussions during the meeting focus on key areas such as AI-driven cybersecurity, risk assessment and mitigation, system integration, and validation of technologies in complex IoT–Edge–Cloud environments. The sessions also address the project’s broader impact, including dissemination, standardisation, and engagement with stakeholders.

A central objective of this General Assembly is to advance the integration of CyberNEMO components into a cohesive framework, moving from individual developments toward interoperable and scalable solutions for securing critical infrastructures.

Beyond the technical work, the meeting provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen collaboration, ensuring alignment and continuity as the project progresses toward its next milestones.

CyberNEMO has initiated a series of liaison activities with four European cybersecurity projects COcyber, CYBERACTIONING, ENSEMBLE, and Resilmesh towards building a unified and resilient European cybersecurity landscape.

The 1^st meeting took place on the 18^th of March 2026, with the participation of Andreas Papadakis and Ilias Seitanidis on behalf of the CyberNEMO coordinator (Synelixis).

The activity focuses on four pillars of collaboration:

• Joint Dissemination, broadening projects’ visibility across the European research community and beyond.
• Synchronised Advocacy, coordinating the communication campaigns to lead the conversation on cybersecurity and defense challenges at the EU level.
• Event Co-hosting, co-organising presentations at major industry forums and jointly hosting specialised events that showcase the projects’ collective expertise.
• Knowledge Exchange into a cybersecurity ecosystem.

Together, the four projects bring complementary strengths: COcyber bridges civilian and defence cybersecurity communities, CyberACTIONING advances cutting-edge network security research. ENSEMBLE focuses on collaborative cybersecurity education and training and ResilMesh tackles resilience in complex networked environments.

The CyberNEMO project joined forces with INTACT, CASTOR, and MIRANDA discussing the possibility of collaboration between projects meeting of the European Cybersecurity Cluster, held on January 16^th. This collaborative exchange was designed to identify synergies, explore joint opportunities, and align shared goals among the participating projects. The gathering united specialists and leaders from all four initiatives, each focused on strengthening European cybersecurity through pioneering research and practical application.

CyberNEMO presented the current progress and the objectives. CybeNEMO focuses on strengthening resilience and risk preparedness across critical infrastructure and supply chains. It provides a comprehensive, end-to-end security stack—ranging from Zero-Trust Network Access to AI-driven Situation Perception, Comprehension & Protection (SPCP)—while facilitating collaborative auditing and a pan-European platform for shared threat analysis (SAAM).

As the discussions progressed, participants identified several common points for collaboration. They expressed strong interest in pursuing future joint calls and events. In this context, a cross-project event collaborative calendar was established aiming to enhance the inter-project synergy visibility through conferences and workshops that will promote the innovative work carried out by the EU funded projects in the Cybersecurity domain.

The meeting concluded with the partners planning their next actions and scheduling their upcoming meetings.
