Strengthening Europe’s cybersecurity through AI-driven defence, collaborative intelligence, and real-world validation.

CYBERGUARD is a three-year European project (Grant Agreement No. 101190251) that develops advanced, deployable tools to help Security Operations Centres (SOCs) detect, prevent, and respond to sophisticated cyber threats across critical sectors such as energy, transport, maritime, government, finance, and health. The project integrates state-of-the-art capabilities in malware analysis, penetration testing, CTI (cyber threat intelligence), and mitigation of attacks targeting AI systems—especially large language models—while ensuring seamless interoperability with existing SOC infrastructures and third-party tools. Its goal is to empower SOC analysts with practical technologies and shared knowledge that measurably improve operational resilience.
