“Czech and Estonian researchers are joining forces to build a cross-border cybersecurity hub that will strengthen Europe’s digital defences in the face of growing cyber threats.”
The CHESS initiative runs for 4 years from 2023 to 2026 and focuses on identifying strengths and gaps in six key areas: the Internet of Secure Things, security certification, verification of trustworthy software, security preservation in blockchain, post-quantum cryptography, and the human-centric aspects of cybersecurity. Think of it as building a digital fortress to protect our data, privacy, and online systems. Experts from Czechia and Estonia—two countries known for their tech skills—are teaming up to create future-proof cybersecurity against emerging security threats. They’re also making it easier for everyday people and businesses to understand and improve their cybersecurity. With CHESS, Europe is working to stay one step ahead of hackers and keep our digital world safe.
