One of the key cybersecurity challenges in Europe is reducing reliance on threat intelligence from non-EU countries. The FETTA (Federated European Team for Threat Analysis) project aims to address this issue by creating a federated team that spans across borders, providing Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) products and tooling. FETTA will focus on jointly analyzing data to develop actionable Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) products, primarily using data sourced within the EU.

Cyberr.ai, which was developed in Luxembourg, launched on 3 January 2024 with the aim to create synergies between key actors in the world of cybersecurity.
