ECHO

The ECHO project (European network of Cybersecurity centres and competence Hub for innovation and Operations) is one of four Pilot projects, launched by the European Commission, to establish and operate a Cybersecurity Competence Network and aims at delivering an organized and coordinated approach to strengthen proactive cyber defense in the European Union, through effective and efficient multi-sector collaboration. The project already involves 30 partners from all Europe, and is actively engaging new partners interested to contribute to the cybersecurity resilience of the EU and in reaching the collaboration goals.

Through the project, the ECHO partners will develop, model and demonstrate a network of cybersecurity research and competence, with a centre of research and competence at the hub. This Central Competence Hub will serve as the focal point for the ECHO Multi-sector Assessment Framework enabling multi-sector cybersecurity dependencies analysis and management through an adaptive model for information sharing and collaboration among the network of partners and related agencies.
