From September 30 to October 1, the CIPHER team was in Galway, Ireland, joining key players from across Europe’s data, AI, and cybersecurity ecosystems at Dexcom Stadium.
Representing the project on-site, our partners Anne-Florence Harpon (F6S), Konstantinos Nestorakis and Christos-Antonios Gizelis (OTE Group) welcomed visitors at the F6S and OTE booths to share our latest developments and forge new connections.
Main takeaways & Event highlights
-
Highlighting the Cyber-Resilience Synergy Network (CRSN): EBDVF was a great opportunity to present the CRSN and demonstrate how CIPHER contributes to building cross-sector synergies that reinforce European digital sovereignty and collective cyber-defense.
-
Presenting CIPHER’s core framework: We exchanged with researchers, industry experts, and decision-makers on our key technological pillars:
-
Dynamic threat intelligence and AI-driven risk assessment.

Continuous federated risk monitoring across cloud-to-edge environments.

Automated security testing and tailored cyber range environments.

-
Spotlighting upcoming Open Calls: Visitors gathered at our booths to learn about CIPHER’s upcoming Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) opportunities, designed to help European SMEs, startups, and research entities test and validate their security technologies within our platform.
Looking ahead
EBDVF 2026 was a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas with the broader European ecosystem, but our work doesn’t stop here. Here is what is coming up next on our roadmap:
-
Launch of Open Call 1: Complete guidelines, eligibility criteria, and application toolkits for our cascade funding scheme will be released soon.
-
Platform deployment & pilot demonstrators: We are progressing toward the first integrated platform release and the rollout of our sector-specific pilots across Telecommunications, Logistics, and Water Management.
