The following publications have been produced in collaboration with AEGIS’ Cybersecurity Reflection Group. Experts in the Cybersecurity and Privacy R&I Working Group and the Cybersecurity Policy Working Group were consulted on the key questions and issues tackled in these reports. Their input was included in all publications. The reports were presented to the European Commission and US regulatory bodies upon publication.
Cybersecurity Reflection Group EU-US Outcomes
Benchmarking Report on the Cybersecurity and Privacy Landscape in the EU and the US
This document provides an analysis of EU and US cybersecurity and privacy R&I priorities. The analysis is based on the main documents that highlight the most important areas for R&I and funding programs. The AEGIS consortium applied the results of the analysis to the three AEGIS focus application domains — healthcare, finance and maritime — to determine how well the most important cybersecurity issues in all three domains are addressed by current R&I priorities. The analysis shows that most of the high priority areas are well covered by the available programs. – Published June 2019
Guidelines for Innovation Partnerships in Cybersecurity and Privacy for EU-US Collaboration
The AEGIS Guidelines for Innovation Partnerships identify good practices for innovation cooperation between organizations from the EU and the US to enhance mutual collaboration of most benefit transatlantically. To identify best practices, AEGIS analyzed government agencies, private foundations and political and scientific entities that play a significant role on innovation in cybersecurity and privacy. The guidelines, which include various success stories, are analyzed using a case study methodology approach and are presented as such. – Published June 2019
White Paper on Research and Innovation in Cybersecurity
This White Paper provides the analysis of EU and US cybersecurity and privacy R&I priorities. It aims to inform funding program managers who would like to understand the trends in cybersecurity and privacy research and innovation across the Atlantic and shape their programs according to research interests. The White Paper also hopes to be a resource for researchers from both academia and the industry who would like to identify prominent directions in research and identify fruitful areas for collaborations. – Published October 2018 (Updated May 2019)
Report on Cybersecurity and Privacy R&I Priorities for EU-US Cooperation
The report on cybersecurity and privacy priorities presents the results of a survey carried out by AEGIS in May 2018. The survey aimed to measure the interest in EU-US cybersecurity and privacy R&I projects and initiatives, determine priority areas of interest for cybersecurity and privacy R&I cooperation and identify barriers for EU-US collaboration in the field. Participants in the survey included ICT and cybersecurity researchers from academia and the industry, decision makers, individuals at government institutions and members of relevant associations in the EU and the US. – Published June 2018
Cybersecurity and Privacy Landscape in the US
The US landscape document provides a comprehensive picture of the current state of the country´s cybersecurity using the critical areas defined by the Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan. AEGIS developed a common cybersecurity taxonomy based on work being carried out in the US cybersecurity and privacy research communities to categorize the findings in a more structured way. This allowed project partners to carry out an analysis of the strength and effectiveness of US cybersecurity policy from a technological, legislative and market perspective. – Published June 2018
Cybersecurity and Privacy Landscape in Europe
The European landscape document maps the current key technological, market and regulatory aspects of cybersecurity in the EU and cross analyzes them with those in the US. The analysis is important for many reasons. It provides a comprehensive picture of the entire cybersecurity and privacy landscape in the EU from a number of different perspectives, including strategic, policy and regulatory. In particular, the landscape analysis details the implications of the most recent disruptive changes induced by the digital transformation of society. – Published May 2018
White Paper on Cybersecurity Policy
The White Paper analyzes the cybersecurity strategies adopted by the EU and the US in recent years. Although both have established their cyber preparedness in different ways, they share key priorities in their cybersecurity strategies. In addition, the White Paper examines the most relevant regulations that have been adopted in the past few years by both jurisdictions in three key areas: standards and certification; privacy and data protection; and public-private information sharing. It also analyzes the political actors involved in the cybersecurity policy-making process. – Published May 2018 (Updated May 2019)
