ECCC, the new hub is set to start operating next year.
The new research hub will operate separately from ENISA (European Union Agency for Network and Information Security), the EU s official cybersecurity agency.
While ENISA will be focused on standards, the European Council said the ECCC will be the EU s main instrument for pooling investment in cybersecurity research, technology and industrial development.
Although not a formal EU agency, the ECC will be tasked with funding new cybersecurity research, providing financial support and technical assistance to cybersecurity start-ups and SMEs, and promoting cyber-security standards.
The new hub is part of the EU s focus on shoring up its digital market. Under the new Digital Europe program, the EU plans to allocate more than €2 billion to cybersecurity from the EU budget for years 2021-2027.

Centre will play a key role in coordinating research and supporting an EU-wide ‘cybersecurity shield’
Details of the European Union’s new cybersecurity research centre have begun to emerge, after the Commission on Wednesday announced a broad strategy to reduce dependence on cyber and wireless communications technologies from outside the continent.
The European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre, based in Bucharest, will be set up in 2021 as part of a broader push by the EU to build its own digital infrastructures and achieve technology sovereignty in what is a critical area for both competitiveness and security.
The Spanish government will draft a list of “safe” mobile technology suppliers for the future local 5G mobile network, assessing their level of risk and allowing the government to avoid issuing an explicit ban against Chinese giant Huawei or any other mobile operator
.
The Spanish government of socialist PSOE and left-wing Unidas Podemos (United We Can) wants to identify the level of risk of all mobile providers who want to compete in the Spanish market next year before the summer, according to Spanish government sources quoted by Cinco Días and EFE.
A ‘neutral’ and independent approach
In assessing the level of the risk, a “scale” will be used, going from low to medium or high. Depending on the results of the independent assessment, mobile companies will be allowed, or not, to enter the new 5G market in Spain, the sources said.
