The mission of ECOSSIAN is to improve the detection and management of highly sophisticated cyber security incidents and attacks against critical infrastructures by implementing a pan-European early warning and situational awareness framework with command and control facilities.
Principle objectives of the ECOSSIAN project are to:
•Establish and improve the state of situational awareness, helping operators to implement Security Operations Centres (O-SOC),
• Combine Member States’ O-SOCs in an infrastructure: National Security Operation Centre (N-SOC);
• Improve the effectiveness of decision-making and incident response capabilities in Member States through real-time situational awareness and information sharing;
• Support a pan-European early-warning entity through the connection of Member States N-SOC to a European Security Operation Centre (E-SOC);
• Build trusted relationships and engage the CI operators at the EU level, encouraging collaboration in responding to cyber incidents.
