Description
"Hi I am LuCy, or if you want my full name, LuCySe4RE- meaning Luxembourg CyberSecurity 4 Research and Education project. I am co-funded by the European Union’s Digital Europe programme (DIGITAL), and my major aim is to improve the cybersecurity in research and education infrastructures. Not all organisations within R&E in Luxembourg are well protected and their users still often lack major competences in protecting their infrastructures correctly. That's where I try to jump in."
LuCySe4RE aims to deploy new security solutions within existing infrastructures. Over the last years, the Restena Foundation has implemented relevant security tools, specifically to meet its own needs, but with an increasing threat landscape and growing requirements also from EU-level (NIS, NIS2 etc.) the Research and Education (R&E) community needs innovative solutions to evolve, mature and adapt to fulfill these new obligations. This is where LuCy comes into play and puts the single instances into a whole.
Lucy
• Strengthens the capabilities to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats by building a SOC-like structure at low cost, supporting CSIRT teams in their day-to-day tasks of countering new threats and responding to incidents
• Enhances the value and audit capability of existing cybersecurity solutions
• Makes the R&E sector more robust and prepared against malicious actors, while preserving the openness that it requires to function
• Provides an easy solution for R&E organisations with limited resources- as it uses open-source solutions.
Another important aspect in LuCy is awareness raising. LuCy focuses on activities to reinforce awareness and preparedness - with a focal point on training and education in for example cyber-hygiene. Raising awareness in effective and innovative ways poses a daily challenge. This is why LuCy has teamed up with different organisations on the national level to provide (in-)formal training on various topics.
"In this presentation, I will show you the recent progress achieved on a technical level, as well as provide the first results on the awareness raising and education activities", -LuCy
