Outcomes and key themes from ICT 2018 Session on Cybersecurity as key for a Digital Economy and Society

On 5 December 2018, the Digital Single Market of the European Commission sponsored a session on the topic of “Cybersecurity as key for a Digital Economy and Society”. The highly-popular session (over 90 attendees) took place on 5 December 2018 within the flagship ICT2018 Conference in Vienna, Austria.

Khalil Rouhana, Deputy Director General, EC – DG CNECT, kicked off the session with an overview of some of the most pressing issues of the day in cybersecurity:

Testimonials

Jorge Marcos – Simarks

Cyberwatching has a huge importance for SMEs in Europe for a very simple reason: SMEs do not have the necessary resources to hire specialized technical resources.
In addition, most of the cybersecurity solutions present in the market are focused on large companies and SMEs can only access the traditional antivirus solutions that are clearly insufficient.
A marketplace about cybersecurity where SMEs can find other SMEs that offer solutions and services associated with cybersecurity that they can afford is, in my opinion, strictly necessary.
Otherwise SMEs will continue to leave security in the background with the serious risk that this entails and will remain the main objective of cybercriminals.

Francisco Jose Ruiz – SMESEC project

The SMESEC project started a couple of months ago a very fruitful collaboration with Cyberwatching.eu in order to identify common needs, stakeholders, business opportunity, etc. This collaboration has been very successful so far as we were invited to a webminar and a cybersecurity event (CyberSec 2018) where we were able to present our work to a large number of different organizations. Thanks to this we were able to contact different SMEs and other cybersecurity organizations with interest in our results, both for collaborating in a joint development or use them in their day-to-day business. Additionally, Cyberwatching.eu accepted our invitation for a networking session about cybersecurity and industry in the ICT'18, where they presented an overview of the issues of cybersecurity in SMEs in Europe and how they will support European research work to reach SMEs, increasing their adoption.
We believe this collaboration will bring even more successful output as we plan to have a close work with them in order to promote the results of the project from the exploitation and dissemination point of view.

Yolanda Ursa – AEGIS project

The Cyberwatching.eu observatory has been very useful for AEGIS partners and collaborators to approach the cybersecurity R&I community in Europe through different clusters and thus to exchange views, policies and best practices that help accelerate EU-US cooperation in cybersecurity and privacy research and innovation (R&I).

Thanks to AEGIS-Cyberwatching.eu close collaboration and joint events, we had the opportunity to share the AEGIS White Papers and Policy Briefs on Cybersecurity Policies and Research and Innovation in Cybersecurity among the extensive community of EU researchers, industry and government players in cybersecurity and privacy and unlock the potential for new partnerships between EU and the US.

Jokin Garatea – Director of the International Department at GAIA Cluster, Technology and Knowledge Cluster of the Basque Country

We are members of Cyberwatching.eu since a year ago and thanks to this potential collaboration GAIA has open its network in the cybersecurity field.
GAIA has identified cybersecurity as one of the KET in our last strategic plan (2017 – 2021) and working with cyberwatching.eu network has allow us to connect with potential European projects meanly related to ethics, trust and usability. Moreover, GAIA is an active participant of the webinars organised by Cyberwatching, which has allow us to identify potential collaborations for our cluster members allowing them to participate in some pilots and testing carried out by the different projects running.

John Davies – South Wales Cyber Security Cluster

We are constantly being challenged to do more in the fight against cyber crime. In reality, there is an amazing amount of work being done in Cyber all over Europe. The bigger challenge is finding out about all of this amazing work and communicating it to everyone.
CyberWatching are tackling this head-on by promoting cutting-edge cybersecurity work emerging from Clusters, Ecosystems, Research and Innovation Initiatives across Europe. Keep up the good work!

Fabio Martinelli - AEGIS project

From a very practical point of view we have identified health, financial and maritime as key sectors in which Europe and US are willing to cooperate more in terms of stimulating innovation approaches in cybersecurity and privacy in order to shape the global landscape.

Adam Kozakiewicz - EUNITY project

Europe and Japan are in need of a stronger collaboration on cybersecurity themes.
Education and awareness, standards and regulation as well as information sharing are the top three areas on which international cooperation should be based.

David Wallom - Oxford University

With the substantial investment being made by EC & national governments into cybersecurity R&I activities it is essential that these project create long term impact.

The first step in achieving this is understanding where the projects sit within a defined cybersecurity and privacy landscape, and the second is knowing where the products developed by these projects are in terms of readiness for usage outside the project, both individually but also when compared to other outputs in an overall view of the domain within the Cyberwatching Technology Radar.

Raul Perez

In the cybersecurity sector, where investigation and innovation are key, having one of the leading observatories in Europe on your side, Cyberwatching.eu, is an advantage. A meeting place for professionals to learn and share experiences with leaders in the sector; a window to a collaborative effort to create a more secure environment.

Sebastiano Toffaletti - Digital SME Alliance

Why is cyberwatching.eu important for SMEs?

It’s the opportunity to network, cooperate and learn more about cybersecurity threats and solutions from champions in the field. It’s also the chance to showcase solutions and best practices, sell products, and use cutting-edge services from the world of R&I.

Alejandro Varas Gálvez - CITIC
