Cisco recently opened its first Cybersecurity Co-Innovation Center in Europe at the Leonardo da Vinci Science and Technology Museum in Milan.
The new center, the first for Cisco in Europe, is dedicated to cybersecurity and privacy. It will focus on complex supply chains, IoT technologies, critical country infrastructures like utilities, smart grids and 5G – as well as public digital services with embedded security.
Furthermore, the center will support threat intelligence research and security incident response capabilities. It will provide workshops for the development of innovative solutions focused on cybersecurity and privacy, as well as space for developers and researchers to use.
The innovation center in Milan is part of Cisco’s ongoing investment in cybersecurity and, with six co-innovation centers in Europe, this ongoing investment in the EU supports the European Commission’s and Parliament’s aspiration to create a more secure future for citizens across the region.
Cisco’s Co-Innovation Centers around the world are hubs for open innovation, bringing together communities of customers, partners, start-ups, accelerators, governments, universities and research communities to foster the exploration and development of new technologies.

Our first cybersecurity co-innovation center in Europe will enable more research, foster greater innovation and build capacity to create solutions for the most pressing societal security challenges, such as the security, resiliency and privacy of critical infrastructure which are at the core of secure digitization.
