Project of the EU Framework Program
"Horizon 2020" - ECHO
The ECHO project delivers an organized and coordinated approach to improve cyber defence of the European Union, through effective multi-sector collaboration. The strategic aim of the project is to develop, model and demonstrate a network of cybersecurity centres with a centre of research and competence at the hub. Also, in the frame of the project the ECHO Cyber-skills Framework will be created to provide the foundation for development of cybersecurity education and training programmes including a common definition of transversal and inter-sector skills and qualifications needed by cybersecurity practitioners. Together with that, the ECHO Cybersecurity Certification Scheme will provide a sector specific and inter-sector process for cybersecurity certification testing of new technologies and products resulting from the proposed technology roadmaps.
