The ECHO project provides an organized and coordinated approach to improving the cybersecurity of the European Union through effective multi-sectoral collaboration. The strategic objective of the project is to develop, model, and demonstrate the functioning of a network of cybersecurity centers with a central research and competence hub. Within the project, a governance model is being created to ensure that efforts within the European network of cybersecurity centers can be coordinated and optimized to maintain long-term and sustainable leadership in cybersecurity skill development, research and experimentation, technology roadmap development, and enhancing cybersecurity resilience.
