The COcyber project held its 3rd General Assembly in Brussels on June 23–24, bringing together partners and Advisory Board members to review progress and shape next steps for bridging civilian and defence cybersecurity efforts
COcyber took part in GITEX EUROPE to present the project, highlight the AI Cybersecurity Deephack as a tangible outcome, and engage with stakeholders working across civil and defence innovation. The event underlined growing interest in practical dual-use applications, with positive feedback from both institutional actors and startups already active in the defence space.
