Paris, France – 20 November 2025
Eviden, the Atos Group product brand leading in advanced computing, cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI, today announced that it has won a call for projects from the European Cybersecurity Competence Center and Network (ECCC)[1] to improve the cyber protection and resilience of European critical infrastructures.
This ECCC initiative aims to develop a strong and coherent community around cybersecurity issues by strengthening collaboration, knowledge sharing and the deployment of innovative cybersecurity solutions on a European scale.
The CIPHER[2] (Cybersecurity Intelligence, Protection and Holistic Enterprise Resilience) consortium will directly contribute to the ECCC’s mission to strengthen Europe’s digital resilience by providing a standardized, collaborative facility for testing, validating, and certifying the cybersecurity posture of essential service operators.
Led by Eviden, CIPHER brings together 13 partners from 7 European countries — including critical infrastructure operators, research organizations, and cybersecurity SMEs — ensuring a strong, multi-sectoral approach to advancing Europe’s cyber resilience.
