Dutch cybersecurity SME specializing in AI-driven threat detection, visual analytics, and IoT security across critical infrastructure sectors.
CyberLens is a Dutch cybersecurity SME that develops security monitoring, threat detection, and visual analytics tools for complex connected systems. They specialize in applying AI and computer vision to cyber threat identification across diverse domains — from 5G networks and connected vehicles to maritime vessels, energy grids, and space ground segments. Their recurring role across 13 H2020 projects is providing software-defined security components, situational awareness dashboards, and IoT security modules that plug into larger multi-partner platforms.
Core contributor across INSPIRE-5Gplus (5G security), SECANT (IoT security), CUREX (health data security), CARAMEL (vehicle cybersecurity), CYRENE (supply chain security), ELECTRON (energy grid security), IRIS (threat intelligence), and CREST (IoT-based crime fighting).
Developed command-and-control visual analytics in CREST, common operational picture tools in RESPOND-A, monitoring/detection systems in ISOLA, and AI-based dashboards in LifeChamps.
Applied security to space ground segments (7SHIELD), energy nanogrids (ELECTRON), maritime cruise ships (ISOLA), and supply chains (CYRENE).
Worked on 5G network security in INSPIRE-5Gplus, connected/autonomous vehicle cybersecurity in CARAMEL, and 5G road mobility in 5G-CARMEN.
Provided autonomous systems and web monitoring for LEAs in CREST, and mission-critical tools for first responders in RESPOND-A.
CyberLens entered H2020 in 2018 focused on telecom and mobility security — 5G networks, connected vehicles, and mobile edge computing (5G-CARMEN, INSPIRE-5Gplus, CARAMEL). From 2020 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward securing physical critical infrastructure and operational environments: maritime vessels (ISOLA), space ground segments (7SHIELD), energy grids (ELECTRON), and supply chains (CYRENE). Their most recent projects (2021) emphasize autonomous cyber threat intelligence and compliance with EU cybersecurity certification frameworks, signaling a move from pure technology development toward governance-ready security solutions.
CyberLens is moving from securing digital networks toward securing physical critical infrastructure, with increasing emphasis on EU cybersecurity certification and autonomous threat response — positioning them for NIS2-driven demand.
CyberLens operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, which is consistent with a specialized technology provider that plugs its cybersecurity modules into larger system-of-systems platforms. With 230 unique partners across 28 countries in just 13 projects, they work in large consortia and rarely repeat partners — they are a versatile specialist that adapts to different consortium configurations rather than a hub with a fixed network. This makes them easy to integrate into new consortia without political complications.
Exceptionally wide network for an SME: 230 unique partners across 28 countries from 13 projects, averaging ~18 partners per consortium. Their reach spans nearly all EU member states, with no visible geographic concentration beyond their Dutch home base.
CyberLens stands out as a cybersecurity SME that can apply the same core competencies — threat detection, visual analytics, security monitoring — across radically different domains, from cruise ships to energy grids to space systems. Most cybersecurity firms specialize in one vertical; CyberLens has proven domain-agile across 10 security projects spanning 6+ application sectors. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination: deep cybersecurity expertise with demonstrated ability to integrate into any sector where connected systems need protecting.
