PRESSTO Tool in Action: Live Demonstration at Maker Faire festival
PRESSTO (part of SCRUTINY toolset) takes the stage at the festival of innovation, creativity, and DIY in Prague (CZ) on 9–10 May.
The Cybersecurity Certification and Assessment Tools (CCAT) project has launched to support continuous, transparent cybersecurity assessments in line with evolving European regulations, translating advanced academic research into open-source tools for real-world use.
As cybersecurity regulations continue to evolve across Europe, the need for practical, transparent, and continuously updated security assessments has never been greater. The Cybersecurity Certification and Assessment Tools (CCAT) project has officially launched to address this challenge by translating cutting-edge academic research into open-source tools ready for real-world use.
CCAT brings together four established tools — TLS-Scanner, SCRUTINY, ALVIE, and sec-certs — enhancing them to support the implementation of European cybersecurity regulations across public and private sectors. The project focuses on continuous assessment of hardware and software systems, improved usability for non-academic stakeholders, and clearer, actionable security insights.
Funded by the European Union and supported by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre, CCAT aims to strengthen transparency, accountability, and resilience in the EU’s digital ecosystem. By bridging research, regulation, and practice, the project contributes to a more trustworthy and robust cybersecurity landscape for Europe.
