In his presentation, François Thill, will briefly present the strategy developed by the Ministry of the Economy for cybersecurity and highlight its importance for SMEs and innovation in general. The aim of the strategy is to reduce the costs and complexity of cybersecurity tools for all. To achieve this goal, the OSPO of the Luxembourg House of Cybersecurity will play a predominant role by publishing open source tools, raw and contextualized data as well as AI models together with the training data. Code, data and AI models are made available to a large audience to foster the creation of new cybersecurity services by the private sector with SMEs as a target audience. The development of these tools is supported in Luxembourg by state aid, SMEs investing in these solutions are financially supported. Furthermore, Luxembourg intends to create an European cybersecurity initiative through a “joint action” at the level of the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC). In this endeavour, the OSPO of the House of Cybersecurity will play a major role.
