In this episode of Cyber Duality: A COcyber Podcast we explore how Europe can strengthen cooperation between civilian, defence and law enforcement actors in cybersecurity with insights from Giuseppe Zuffanti, Coordinator for Cyber Issues at the European Security and Defence College.

In this episode of Cyber Duality: a COcyber Podcast, Dr. Vilius Benetis discusses cybersecurity capacity building through his experience supporting Computer Emergency Response Teams and Security Operations Centers across Europe and beyond.

In this second episode, Luca Tagliaretti, Executive Director of the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), shares insights from his work at the centre of Europe’s cybersecurity ecosystem. He discusses current coordination gaps, strategic priorities, and the role of the ECCC in strengthening resilience, innovation, and technological sovereignty.

In this first episode of Cyber Duality: A COcyber Podcast we explore how Europe can better connect civilian and defence cybersecurity efforts with insights from Madhusanka Liyanage, an expert in telecom security and 5G/6G research.

From April 24 to 26, 2025, COcyber’s AI Cybersecurity Deephack brought together cyber enthusiasts from academia, research and the start-up scene for an intense 48-hour challenge to answer one critical question: can artificial intelligence stop the next big phishing attack?

The Hungarian case study shows how cybersecurity technology and information transfer are shaped by a system where state coordination, legal frameworks, and defence priorities play a central role.

The Spanish case study shows how cybersecurity technology and information transfer are shaped by a mature but complex ecosystem, where national security, strategic coordination, innovation capacity, and industrial development all play an important role.

Lithuania’s case study shows how stronger coordination, clearer transfer pathways, and greater trust in information sharing can help turn cybersecurity innovation into practical national resilience.

From idea to impact: in just one year, COcyber has built a thriving European community bridging civilian and defence cybersecurity. In this anniversary video, project partners looks back at key milestones, meaningful progress, and the next steps in building dual-use cybersecurity cooperation.

In this interview, Team GENSHIELD-AI, third-prize winners of the COcyber AI Cybersecurity Deephack, share how they developed PhishNet — a multilingual phishing detection system. They discuss their dual-use design for civilian and defence applications, the importance of explainability in AI, and their plans to further develop GENSHIELD-AI for real-world deployment.
