The European Commission launched a new call for tenders to support the Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs Network), created by the Directive on security of network and information system (NIS Directive), the first EU-wide cybersecurity rules which enable national authorities and market operators to better tackle cyber threats. With a budget of €2.5 million funded by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme, this new call comes shortly after a previous call of €1.5 million aimed to support essential services, such as health, water, digital infrastructures and transport sectors. A further tender will be published shortly to help national competent authorities increase their cooperation under the NIS directive (NIS Cooperation Group). In total €5.5 million is being invested in 2019, via calls for tenders, to step up European cybersecurity readiness and facilitate the sharing of information and cooperation among all the cybersecurity key players that are defined by the NIS Directive.
