About the Project
JCOP is a prototypical implementation of Commission Recommendation (EU) 2017/1584 of 13 September 2017 on coordinated response to large-scale cybersecurity incidents and crises, and a model that can be applied to all EU Member States. In particular, the project develops a Joint Cybersecurity Operations Platform (JCOP) tailored to the needs of EU Member State authorities entrusted with cybersecurity. The platform, as per the EU Recommendation 2017/1584, will enable (i) sharing threat situational awareness, (ii) performing coordinated incident response and (iii) preparedness through relevant and tailored training.
JCOP will be deployed and validated through a Southeast Europe Coordinated Response Cluster (cross-border collaboration), including the national cybersecurity authorities of Greece (NCSA) and Cyprus (DSA). The Norwegian national security authority ( Nasjonal sikrechtsmyndighet - NSM ) will validate JCOP at the national level.
The Role of UiO in the Project
The University of Oslo (UiO) supports the development of the CTI and AIR components (see figure above) and leads the standardization, capacity building, and sustainable impact creation activities. In addition, UiO is responsible for the integration of JCOP into the security operations centers of the authorities.
