Visions and goals
The key features of the hub are its multidisciplinarity, a wide range of cooperating national and international, public and private institutions, and the possibility of utilizing unique infrastructures. Partners involved in the operation of the hub retain experts dealing with cybersecurity issues not only from a technical perspective but also from a procedural, organizational, legal, economic, or sociological point of view.
The hub also cooperates with and provides support to the variety of national public authorities (like National Cyber and Information Security Authority, Ministry of Justice, Czech Police, or Data Protection Authority), international institutions (ENISA, Europol or United Nations), private clusters, trade organizations, scientific parks, and private corporations. As some of the partners of the hub are research organizations and innovative companies, the hub can utilize their research, development and production infrastructures (i.e., cyber ranges, training facilities, security operations centres, proving grounds or testing infrastructures).
