The Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center (PCSS) and Wielkopolska Agency for Enterprise Development (WARP) signed a letter of intent regarding cooperation in the area of cybersecurity. In its initial phase, the cooperation will feature the dissemination and promotion of information about cybersecurity and the security of ICT systems among entrepreneurs in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) Voivodeship.
PSNC together with the CyberSec consortium prepared an offer addressed to entrepreneurs (SMEs). This free assistance is financed on fifty-fifty terms by the European Commission and the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) (within the framework of de minimis aid). PSNC coordinates the activities of the digital transformation hub, focusing on raising the security level. The Wielkopolska Agency for Enterprise Development (WARP) will join forces with the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center to promote the offer and make sure that the entrepreneurs it is aimed at are kept up-to-date with all the latest information concerning their cybersecurity.
On 15 April 2025, a letter of intent was signed by PCSS (PSNC) and WARP to launch this venture and provide this crucial support for SMEs.
Cybersecurity services in the project originate from the National Center for Secure Digital Transformation – which is a specialized European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) in this area.
CyberSec is a consortium consisting of both R&D institutions and SMEs: VT Cyber, Wrocław University of Science and Technology, CDeX, PSNC, ICsec, ITTI, TRIN.
Project’s total worth: 15 813 409,27 PLN
The contribution from the European Funds: 7 312 708,43 PLN
