During its final period CyberSec4Europe kept on track and achieved its objectives successfully. Here we present the key messages and achievements realised by the four pillars of CyberSec4Europe. In Pillar I, Governance Design and Pilot, WP2 refined its approach for cybersecurity community governance in the EU based on a bottom-up governance structure, addressing urgent cybersecurity challenges by capitalising on community-derived capabilities and ensuring robust cooperation. A major achievement was an up-to-date overview of best practices for NCC and community setup in D2.4. Further achievements were the creation of a maturity assessment toolbox and the highlighting of the state of the European cybersecurity community. In Pillar II, From Research and Innovation to Industry, WP3 provided an updated version of enablers and components, and the improved assets were analysed and evaluated. An important activity was the management and coordination of the CyberSec4Europe workshop at the Privacy Symposium in Venice and the editing of the related book to be published by Springer. WP4 created the third and final research and development roadmap. Another major outcome from this period was the analysis of the produced roadmaps from the dimensions of completeness, usefulness, and progress. Research directions and priorities that will be important after the end of the project were analysed and published as the “Blue Book”. WP5 provided a detailed specification of all use cases and an overview of the demonstrator set-ups in D5.5. A detailed validation strategy for each of the demonstration cases that built on either technical test cases or technology-based analysis was derived. WP5 also presented live demos at several events, such as the Privacy Symposium, CONVERGENCE NEXT and Momentum!. In Pillar III, Education, Certification and Standardisation, a major achievement of WP6 was the second Flagship exercise. A further WP6 achievement was final educational and assessment framework that defined the guidelines and tools supporting the design of capability building instruments. Cross-pilot activities also involving ENISA took place for the further dissemination of CyberSec4Europe’s results. In WP7, a software deliverable brought the open-source tools and materials for supporting research and development using the Cyber Sandbox Creator (CSC) and demonstrated practical use cases of CSC. Another achievement was the provision of a secure and usable desktop environment for beginner and intermediate users. A a survey was performed targeting cyber range vendors and operators about agreements, guidance documentation and dissemination materials. In addition, the virtual certification centre and the SURFACE certification framework were validated. WP8 assessed eight different standard development organisations that have an impact in the cybersecurity domain using eight criteria that were developed through a mix of iterative expert discussions and an adaptation of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) principles. The mapping of application areas and research challenges to the existing cybersecurity standards and standardisation projects was updated. WP8 and WP9 organised a webinar in the Insights series about the fixed-time cybersecurity evaluation methodology for ICT products. CyberSec4Europe continued to be a category C liaison organisation with ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 WG 2 and WG 5. In Pillar IV, Communication and Community Building, WP9 continually updated the content and public information on the project website and social media accounts. One focus was on the creation, design, and production of the book, 'Stories: the narrative of a European cybersecurity community', a collection of news posts since the start of the project, that was made available first at the Momentum! summit event and on subsequent occasions. Another focus was on the management and promotion of the CONVERGENCE NEXT event and the continuation of the SME cybersecurity awareness studies, the supply chain security recommendations, and the awareness effectiveness studies. Additional important achievements were the third exploitation strategy and policy recommendation reports. One of the main activities of WP10 was the organisation, participation, and hosting of CONVERGENCE NEXT, the project’s third concertation event, in hybrid format in Brussels. The project coordination successfully and efficiently executed the project governance. Communication, control, and reporting infrastructure were managed, and the quality standards of the project’s activities and results were assured. The development of Amendment 3, which resulted in a 5-month extension, was managed. All deliverables planned for the third period were delivered, mostly without delay. In summary, CyberSec4Europe achieved all its planned goals as described in the Description of Action.
