About
What We Bring
CyberMentor EU combine cybersecurity managed services expertise, AI-powered training technology, and real operational experience to accelerate adoption of cybersecurity best practices across Europe.
Why This Matters Now
Europe faces:
-
A persistent cybersecurity skills shortage
-
Increasing cyber threats against SMEs and critical infrastructure
-
Growing regulatory pressure (NIS2, GDPR, AI Act)
-
Need for faster adoption of practical cyber resilience solutions
CyberMentor addresses these challenges by connecting workforce development directly with real security operations knowledge.
What We Are Looking For
We are building a Horizon Europe Cluster 3 consortium and are particularly interested in collaborating with:
-
Universities and research centres (AI, cybersecurity, human factors)
-
Critical infrastructure operators and public sector entities
-
Cybersecurity and cloud technology providers
-
SME associations and digital innovation hubs
-
Pilot organisations interested in workforce cyber resilience
What We Offer Partners
-
Mature cybersecurity operational expertise (SOC/MSSP perspective)
-
AI mentoring platform ready for European pilot expansion
-
EdTech capability for structured cybersecurity training
-
Experience across Europe and Latin America ecosystems
-
Strong alignment with EU cyber resilience priorities
Proposed Project Focus (Horizon Europe)
-
AI-driven cybersecurity workforce resilience
-
Operational pilots in SMEs and critical infrastructure
-
Compliance readiness (NIS2, GDPR, AI governance)
-
Skills acceleration and cyber awareness at scale
Goal: accelerate adoption of cybersecurity innovation through people, not just technology.
Partnership Approach
We aim to build a balanced consortium combining:
-
Research excellence
-
Technology innovation
-
Operational validation
-
Real end-user impact
CyberME can act as project coordinator or technical lead depending on consortium composition.
