" Introduction to CyberSec4Europe "
CyberSec4Europe is one of the four European cybersecurity pilots . In particular , CyberSec4Europe is working towards harmonising the journey from the development of software components that fit the requirements identified by a set of short- and long-term roadmaps , leading to a series of consequent recommendations . These are tied to the project ’ s real-world demonstration use cases that address cybersecurity challenges within the vertical sectors of digital infrastructure , finance , government and smart cities , healthcare and transportation . In this talk , I will present an overview of CyberSec4Europe with en emphasis on the vertical related to maritime transportation and its security implications .
