An event in Sardinia to discuss innovation in cybersecurity and the CS-AWARE NEXT project, funded by the Horizon Europe program
Today, in Gavoi, Sardinia, an important event dedicated to cybersecurity in local authorities was held, hosted by the Municipality of Gavoi and the BIM Taloro Consortium, in the council chamber of the Municipality in Piazza Santa Croce. The meeting was attended by the Mayor of Gavoi, Salvatore Lai, the President of the Bim Taloro Consortium, Gianfranco Zedde, and the President of Focus Europe, Giuseppe Cappai, who opened the day with their institutional greetings.
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of the CS-AWARE NEXT project, which represents a significant advance in the field of cybersecurity, specifically designed to strengthen the response capabilities of local authorities to cyber threats. This project is funded under the Horizon Europe programme, a European Union initiative that supports research and innovation on topics of strategic relevance.
The day’s program also included the discussion of a pilot case of the ASI Foggia Consortium, where the CS-AWARE NEXT project was successfully implemented, showing its effectiveness and applicability in real contexts. Further details on the project and how it promotes “Active Security” for entities in line with the NIS regulation were provided by Manuel Leiva Lopez from Cesviter Consulting.
The event concluded with a panel discussion that allowed participants to explore the topics covered in greater depth and to exchange opinions and experiences. A light lunch provided further networking opportunities.
