cyberwatching.eu is the European observatory of research and innovation in the field of cybersecurity and privacy

Cyberwatching.eu is important for EU companies because it provides them with unlimited access to a marketplace and catalogue of new services that can improve their offering and ensure that cybersecurity becomes a unique selling point for them. It creates value by collecting all R&I initiatives on cybersecurity across Europe, making them visible, accessible and usable.

Cyberwatching.eu is also helpful for EU projects as it promotes them, increases their visibility and provides them feedback in terms of effectiveness and usability of research results.

Finally, EU citizens benefit from Cyberwatching.eu as it gives them access to innovative and trustworthy ICT products, services and software which take fundamental rights, such as privacy, into consideration.

Cyberwatching is doing a great job of surveillance in research and innovation among the projects related to privacy and security. They have proactively contacted SMOOTH project and in less than a week have made a dissemination campaign of the project with fantastic results.

We are very grateful to have been beneficiaries of the services that Cyberwatching offers and to be able to continue collaborating in promoting knowledge and awareness regarding GDPR compliance.

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.

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).

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!
