The telecom sector continues its transition towards virtualizing infrastructure. The digitalization of assets and their commercialization in a marketplace is expected to play a central role in 6G networks.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of a temporary situation when critical infrastructure (CI) operators had to operate with continuously changing conditions. The role of cyber infrastructure during pandemics, for example for the remote work or access to critical systems, has also changed.

"Critical infrastructure operators across Europe must prepare their facilities, equipment, and personnel to operate under more strenuous conditions in a warming climate. 

The SecureCyber Cluster Europe is a group of European Union-funded cybersecurity projects that collaborate to address cybersecurity challenges in various domains, including Internet of Things (IoT), smart grids, and more.

It is widely known that we are living through a historic moment in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), capturing the attention of the entire world with spectacular results across multiple application fields, especially in text and image generation.

"Risk and resilience are interconnected concepts. In fact, one of our goals in SUNRISE is to integrate resilience metrics with risk metrics.

Cybersecurity ecosystem in EU is a hot topic, as it relates to the recent establishment of the EU Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), the Network of National Coordination Centres (NCCs) and the Cybersecurity Community (CC).

With the increased digitalization and adoption of cost-effective off-the-shelf components and cyber connectivity, Critical Infrastructures (CI) operators have benefited in many ways, but the attack surface has also become larger.
