ENTIRE is proud to be a part of the EDIH Cybersecurity Thematic Working Group (TWG). The goal of the TWG is to promote cybersecurity as the precondition and basis for successful digitalisation, support advancements in boosting cybersecurity postures, and support local cybersecurity ecosystems. Given the key position of SMEs in the European digital economy, the focus of the TWG will be in supporting their secure digital transformation.
The core objectives of this TWG are:
-
Drafting a common cybersecurity maturity assessment method to support the Digital Maturity Assessment;
-
Define and implement best practices to support and incentivize the implementation of cybersecurity measures and controls;
-
Collaborate on common strategies to facilitate compliance with the ever-evolving cybersecurity regulatory landscape;
-
Exchanging best practices to address commonly defined challenges: skill gaps, resource shortages;
-
Meeting SME expectations by fostering cross-border services and contributing to redirecting SMEs between the EDIH Network.
In addition, this TWG will benefit EDIHs by:
-
Engaging EDIHs in a formal community to facilitate international collaboration through a designated platform (e.g. Signal);
-
Mapping the different services provided by EDIHs on cybersecurity according to a common service catalogue;
-
Providing peer-to-peer and external webinars, workshops, and training targeted at increasing EDIHs service quality and offering.
-
Fostering knowledge and best-practice exchange among EDIHs;
-
Integrating EDIHs in the broader cybersecurity ecosystem, promoting their services and engaging them with SMEs, European institutions, national administrations, and regional authorities.
