Cyberwatching.eu is the European observatory of research and innovation in the field of cybersecurity and privacy.
Funded under the European Commission's H2020 programme, this brand-new project will contribute to making the Digital Single Market a safer place by promoting the uptake and understanding of cutting-edge cybersecurity and privacy services which emerge from Research and Innovation initiatives across Europe.
First to benefit are SMEs who will have unlimited access to project information and also to a Marketplace of new services to help improve their cybersecurity offering.
In its four-year lifetime, Cyberwatching.eu will also play a key role in policy discussions.
In its mission to democratise cybersecurity for all, the project directly responds to the objectives of the recently signed contractual Public-Private Partnership on cybersecurity (c-PPP) which could become the reference framework for research and innovation initiatives across Europe.
As the online hub for research and innovation in cybersecurity & privacy in Europe, the Cyberwatching.eu website offers European citizens a single gateway to innovative and trustworthy ICT products, services and software which take fundamental rights, such as privacy, into consideration.
