Promoting Cybersecurity and a Consistent Cyber Policy through Analytics: Introducing the European Repository of Cyber Incidents

The European Repository of Cyber Incidents (EuRepoC) is an independent research consortium dedicated to better understanding the cyber threat environment in the European Union and beyond. Launched in November 2022, EuRepoC's key objectives are to promote data-driven discussions and policymaking within the field of cyber security and raise awareness of cyber security threats by providing an analytical framework for assessing and comparing the ‘life cycle’ of cyber incidents, focusing on technical, political and legal aspects. The presentation will introduce the Repository's approach and discuss the importance of a data-driven, open source approach to analyzing cybersecurity incidents and cyber threats.
