Mission
Our mission is to address cybersecurity challenges from a technological perspective in a coherent and holistic way, placing people at the centre of technology and processes. Our ultimate goal objective is to safeguard both citizens and organizations against evolving threats like cybercrime and cyber terrorism, all while upholding fundamental rights, particularly trust, privacy and data protection. To this end, we diligently engage in research and development, focusing on innovation in cyber incident detection, impact assessment, and collaborative response. We are committed to delivering solutions that are not only effective but also intelligent, user-friendly, and context-aware.
Vision
Positioned as a global leader in cybersecurity, we are committed to developing integrated and multi-layered cybersecurity solutions. Our approach involves a combination of robust cybersecurity mechanisms, user education, and awareness, supported by well-defined processes, best practices, and governance. Through this strategic vision, we aim to proactively address current and future challenges in security across diverse domains, including IoT/IIoT/OT, critical infrastructures, 5G/6G networks, secure computing continuum, secure and resilient AI-based systems, SOCs/CERTs/CSIRTs operations and collaboration, social networks, continuous risk assessment and pentesting automation, among many others.
Value
Our research is underpinned by a triad of core values: usability, intelligence, and automation:
Asset
