„Cyber Rapid Response Toolbox for Defense Use” (CYBER4DE)
The project is co-financed by the European Commission under the European Defense Industry Development Program (EDIDP). Financing Agreement Number: EDIDP-CSAMN-EDICT-2020-76-CYBER4DE
The aim of the CYBER4DE project was to develop a set of rapid response tools in cyberspace for defense purposes. The Cyber Rapid Response Toolbox for Defense Use (CYBER4DE) project aimed to develop an easy-to-implement, modular and scalable set of rapid cyber response tools for managing cyber incidents in various, complex, national and international scenarios. The project also aimed to improve the processes and practices of Cyber Rapid Response Teams in order to faster uptake of new tools and increase operational efficiency.
The project arose from the needs of the "Rapid Response Teams and Mutual Assistance in Cybersecurity" project under PESCO, which aims to ensure a higher level of cyber resilience and collective response to cyber incidents in the Union. As part of the project, the Consortium aimed to create an up-to-date, harmonized cybersecurity toolkit that will increase interoperability between EU countries and at the same time be useful in meeting the everyday challenges faced by European countries.

Prototyp systemu:
In the context of ever-increasing cyber risks facing digital societies and military forces and given the interoperability challenges CRRTs still face in complex environments, the CYBER4DE project delivers a concept of a highly functional CRRT toolbox as well as advanced incident handling techniques and processes. CYBER4DE proposes a universal solution covering the following advanced features, including but not limited to mobility, easy and fast deployment, automation in detection and analysis, anomaly detection in an unknown infrastructure.
The toolbox concept is based on 4 principal parts: Workplace, Sensors, Back-office, and Cloud services. They provide specific functionality to manage cyber incidents (detect, investigate, and remedy hostile activities) and are integrated into a highly sophisticated, flexible, and scalable solution that is easily configurable and deployable to meet the specifics of a wide range of deployed cyber crisis operations. State-of-the-art and open technologies, including enhancements provided by Artificial Intelligence solutions, will ensure the toolbox remains effective and upgradable over the years.
