CYBER.EUC’s mission is to enhance scientific understanding of cybersecurity and strengthen the practical and strategic cyber-capability of its partners and clients, thus enabling them to thrive in a digital world whose rapid transformation creates new cyber challenges and opportunities.

CYBER.EUC’s vision is to become a world-class reference center for cybersecurity science and application and related digital transformation this engenders with emphasis on local and regional needs.

About

Several faculty members of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the European University Cyprus (EUC) are actively involved in network and information security research, participate in national and international consortia as well as funded projects.

Together with an international group of advisors and experts, they have combined their expertise and stepped up the presence of European University Cyprus (EUC) in the cyber fieldby setting up the CYBER.EUC Research Center.

The Cyber Risk Challenge

Cybersecurity has risen to the top of political and business agendas. The field is evolving very rapidly. Cyber-risks change in nature, perpetrators, victims, and damages. The human factor is as vital as technology. Governments, businesses, and academia must stay at the forefront of these developments through cyber-risk assessment.

Cyber-risk assessment identifies, analyses, and quantifies potential risks, maps these against state-of-the-art protection and defenses, and, importantly, assesses residual risks.

Cyber-risk assessment is becoming an obligation in many parts of the world under cyber-resilience legislation.

Our Proposition

EDUCATION & TRAINING

EDUCATION & TRAINING

CYBER.EUC’s objective is to provide an academic framework for cyber-sciences and creates a career path for emerging researchers. High-quality teaching will challenge our international students and help them develop skills in critical thinking, research and problem-solving that can be applied to a career in either research or the broader business community. Through its taught programs we foster the dissemination of ideas, theories and methods to its students. It is anticipated that the experience gained through research will be fed back to existing courses and it is also anticipated that new courses will spin-off from CYBER.EUC. CYBER.EUC objective also is to work with clients to provide bespoke training and education.

CONSULTANCY

CONSULTANCY

CYBER.EUC’s objective is to assist private and governmental organisations to effectively manage the challenges of cybersecurity. With the ubiquity and pervasiveness of digital technologies, cyber-risks are a threat in many sectors, from finance, insurance, hospitality, and tourism to sectors that heavily depend on operational technology such as maritime, chemicals, and exploration, as well as in virtually every public sector, military and defence.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

CYBER.EUC’s objective is to provide the liaison with the innovation and incubator activities of the University and Cyprus in general and actively stimulate knowledge and technology transfer for global commercialisation.

RESEARCH

RESEARCH

t\The participation in National and EU funded research projects has created a vibrant ecosystem for research in Cyprus and SE Mediterranean. CYBER.EUC’s objective is to build upon this, working with Research Associates and Postdoctoral Research Fellows in projects relevant to the Center’s thematic pillars, creating an inspiring and productive environment, which is primarily focused on delivering high-quality research output and stimulating scientific debate.
