To strengthen the resilience and continuity of Europe’s essential services through strategic cooperation, trusted data sharing and cross-sector collaboration, ENDURANCE is joining the CRSN (Cyber Resilience and Security Network), a growing network of 17 European projects working together to strengthen Europe’s cyber resilience and Critical Infrastructure Protection.

The alliance brings together complementary expertise and approaches to address common challenges, from emerging cyber threats and infrastructure interdependencies to trusted information sharing and regulatory compliance.

Across CRSN, initiatives share strong alignment in several key areas:

1. Resilience of Critical and Interconnected Infrastructures: protecting essential services and addressing cascading effects across increasingly interconnected sectors.
2. Cross-Sector and Cross-Border Cooperation: strengthening collaboration between operators, competent authorities and other stakeholders to improve preparedness and response.
3. Trusted Data Sharing and Interoperability: enabling secure information exchange to support better coordination, risk awareness and decision-making.
4. Risk and Interdependency Analysis: developing innovative approaches to understand risks, dependencies and systemic resilience.
5. Preparedness and Testing: using advanced tools, scenarios and simulation to strengthen operational readiness.
6. European Policy and Regulatory Alignment: supporting the implementation of key frameworks, including CER and NIS2, through harmonised and interoperable approaches.

ENDURANCE’s participation in CRSN will contribute to this shared mission by bringing its own expertise and solutions to the alliance, while creating opportunities to build synergies with complementary European initiatives. Together, the projects can strengthen the visibility and uptake of European research results and contribute to a more secure, resilient and interconnected Europe.
