Standards reports

Cybersecurity certification and standards has been a central theme running through the cyberwatching.eu project and are reflected in these reports. They go hand in hand in addressing the issue of trust with respect to the view of the users and the European citizens. Traditional methods of certification address systemic approaches and must be adapted to the fast-evolving realm of cybersecurity. Inevitably, industry led initiatives have been the most prevalent, but often these are driven by the largest industry and research players, such that the standards and certification solutions developed are not always suitable for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprise) which comprise a large proportion of the innovations going forward currently.
