Outcomes and deliverables
The objective will be to support relevant entities in Member States, such as regulators of electronic communications or security agencies, in the implementation of their national cybersecurity strategies and legislation, in line with European 5G cybersecurity policy. This aims to support knowledge and capacity building for relevant national authorities regarding e.g. exchange of best practices; staff trainings; deployment of innovative evaluation methods; support standardisation actions; procurement of specialised services (e.g. audit and technical assessments).
Scope:The national authorities may associate themselves with private providers of technology services or equipment, in particular European SMEs, possibly in cooperation with network and technology providers, to pilot and develop security and interoperability aspects of innovative solutions, such as open, disaggregate and interoperable solutions.
The projects shall take into account activities in National Coordination Centres created on the basis of the Regulation establishing the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre and the Network of National Coordination Centres where relevant, as well as taking into account other stakeholders. Projects involving national authorities from several EU Member States will be prioritised.
