Group description
CONCORDIA is a cluster of three EU H2020 research projects, CONCORDIA, SPIDER and FORESIGHT organised under the umbrella of the European Commission’s Horizon Results Booster programme (HRB). The projects address complementary areas of the cyber security training sector with a specific focus on cyber ranges.
Collectively, the projects aim to interconnect Europe’s cybersecurity capabilities into a network of expertise to help build a secure, trusted, resilient and competitive ecosystem, to deliver a novel Cyber Range-as-a-Service (CRaaS) platform, targeted at 5G deployments, and a federated cyber-range solution to train cybersecurity professionals at various levels under realistic conditions, enhancing their readiness to prevent, detect, react and mitigate sophisticated cyber-attacks.
