CYSSDE is a European project focused on improving cybersecurity for Essential Service Operators and SMEs. It addresses known vulnerabilities and helps organizations comply with the NIS2 directive. The project does this by organizing open calls to support Member States, developing methods and scenarios for cybersecurity, and coordinating with national cybersecurity centers to enhance pen-testing capabilities across Europe.
Applicants selected for this program will receive funding to carry out pentesting and vulnerability assessments. By supporting these crucial security evaluations, the initiative empowers organizations to proactively identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential security risks within their systems. This comprehensive approach not only enhances organizational resilience but also safeguards critical data against cyber threats, ensuring a stronger, more secure digital infrastructure across participating entities.
