Automated penetration testing across the cloud-edge continuum: Advancing cyber resilience through controlled attack simulation
As critical infrastructures continue their digital transformation journeys, the cybersecurity landscape is becoming increasingly complex. Modern environments no longer operate within clearly defined boundaries. Instead, organisations rely on interconnected cloud services, edge computing platforms, enterprise applications, industrial control systems (ICS), and cyber-physical assets that collectively support essential services. Why traditional security validation is no longer […]
CIPHER at the EBDVF 2026!
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 […]
Proof-First Access Control: Bringing Zero Trust to Decentralised Identity
Most access control systems make a practical assumption: once a user has signed in and received a token, the identity behind that token can be trusted until it expires. This is convenient, but it is not always a good fit for distributed infrastructure. A credential may be revoked after logging in. A software component may […]
CIPHER Team present at the European SOC Innovation Forum (ESIF 2026)!
The CIPHER project team is heading to Bucharest on 15 September 2026 for the European SOC Innovation Forum (ESIF 2026), hosted by Romania’s National Cyber Security Directorate (DNSC). What is ESIF 2026? Organised under the CYDERCO project framework, ESIF is a major European gathering for Security Operations Centres (SOCs), critical infrastructure operators, and technology pioneers. […]
From detection to prediction: How behaviour analytics is changing cyber defence
Cyber security teams have become increasingly effective at detecting known threats. Modern SIEMs, EDR platforms and IDS technologies can identify malware signatures, anomalous traffic and suspicious events within seconds. The real challenge, however, is no longer simply answering “What happened?” but rather “What is likely to happen next?” This shift from reactive detection to predictive […]
CIPHER joins the Cyber Resilience Synergy Network (CRSN) to power proactive European defense
As cyber threat actors escalate the frequency and sophistication of attack campaigns against critical infrastructure, pan-European anticipation and preparedness have become our absolute first line of defense. Aligning with this strategic necessity, the CIPHER project is proud to announce its official entry into the Cyber Resilience Synergy Network (CRSN) cluster ! A unified DNA for […]
Meet our partners: TEMERON
Within Work Package 2, TEMERON leads two of the platform’s core components and delivers its final product. Risk Management Toolbox – a risk engine correlating cyber threat intelligence, vulnerability data and behavioural analytics into sector-aware risk scores for critical-infrastructure operators. Threat & Risk Visualization Dashboard – turns those assessments into clear, actionable views for the […]
Meet our partners: F6S
F6S Network Ireland Limited acts as a key beneficiary within the CIPHER consortium, leading Work Package 7 (Open Calls Management) and actively contributing to the project’s long-term ecosystem by leading the Task 8.1 related to Communication and Dissemination. While CIPHER’s overarching dissemination strategy spans the entire 36-month lifecycle to raise awareness for all technological and […]
Real synergy in Barcelona: our 1st General Assembly!
For the past six months, the CIPHER consortium has been pushing architectural designs and technical framework discussions through screens and remote channels. While remote work kept us on track, there is a completely different level of technical speed you only unlock when you put everyone in the same room. Last week, we finally made it […]
Meet our partners: i2CAT
In CIPHER, i2CAT leads Work Package 2 (WP2) and Task 3.2. The team is tasked with developing information systems that assess the threat surface and related risks through activity monitoring, probing, and the preparation of the Security Response Manager to ensure European infrastructures are battle-tested against modern cybersecurity threats. Meet the faces behind the project […]
