Enhancing cybersecurity collaboration across Europe
CHIEF is a 36-month European-funded project (January 2026 – December 2028) designed to enhance collaboration in the cybersecurity domain across Europe by improving information-sharing frameworks, interoperability, and governance between Security Operations Centres, starting with National Cyber Hubs.
Overall scope
CHIEF will support and facilitate the development of cross-border detection and response capabilities, the establishment of a reference architecture for secure data exchange, and the integration of SOCs into a unified European Cybersecurity Alert System. This approach, leveraging on the collaboration with ENISA, will foster the development of EU standards and taxonomies to ensure seamless cooperation for both National Cyber Hubs as well as for Cross-Border Cyber Hubs.
