Data Sharing Platform
The platform serves as a structured environment for sharing cybersecurity-related knowledge, resources, and materials across both public and academic communities. It is designed to support controlled collaboration, ensuring that contributions are verifiable while still enabling broad access to valuable information.
The platform supports both open dissemination of information and regulated academic sharing.
Data Categories
The data can be of the following types.
1. Datasets
The Datasets section provides a centralized space for sharing cybersecurity-related data resources intended for research, analysis, operational support, and collaborative information exchange. It contains structured and unstructured datasets that may support threat analysis, incident investigation, vulnerability research, risk assessment, machine learning applications, and broader cybersecurity activities.
Content may include malware samples metadata, network traffic captures, disk images, threat intelligence feeds, phishing indicators, vulnerability datasets, attack simulation data, security event logs, forensic artefacts, anonymized incident data, benchmarking datasets, and other cybersecurity-relevant collections of information.
The section is intended to support collaboration between organizations, researchers, analysts, and cybersecurity practitioners by enabling controlled sharing and reuse of data resources for defensive, analytical, educational, and research purposes.
2. Education
The Education section provides a collection of cybersecurity-related educational materials intended to support training, awareness, and professional development. It contains resources designed for educators, trainers, students, and organizations seeking to improve cybersecurity knowledge and practical competencies.
Content may include presentations, teaching methodologies, training materials, course outlines, workshop content, awareness resources, instructional manuals, laboratory exercises, certification preparation materials, and other educational assets covering both foundational and advanced cybersecurity topics.
The section is intended to support the development of cybersecurity skills and enable the reuse and adaptation of educational content across academic, professional, and organizational environments.
3. Research
The Research section provides a repository for cybersecurity-related research materials. It contains scientific, technical, and analytical resources covering a broad range of cybersecurity topics and disciplines.
Content may include research papers on malware analysis, ransomware trends, artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, threat detection methodologies, cryptography, digital forensics, vulnerability analysis, secure software development, cyber threat intelligence, and more. Additional materials may include academic publications, white papers, conference proceedings, technical studies, analytical reports, case studies, surveys, experimental datasets, and other research-oriented documentation.
The section is intended to support collaboration between researchers, academic institutions, industry experts, and practitioners by enabling access to research outputs and fostering the dissemination and advancement of cybersecurity knowledge.
4. Security Guidelines
The Research section provides a repository for cybersecurity-related research materials. It contains scientific, technical, and analytical resources covering a broad range of cybersecurity topics and disciplines.
Content may include research papers on malware analysis, ransomware trends, artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, threat detection methodologies, cryptography, digital forensics, vulnerability analysis, secure software development, cyber threat intelligence, and more. Additional materials may include academic publications, white papers, conference proceedings, technical studies, analytical reports, case studies, surveys, experimental datasets, and other research-oriented documentation.
The section is intended to support collaboration between researchers, academic institutions, industry experts, and practitioners by enabling access to research outputs and fostering the dissemination and advancement of cybersecurity knowledge.
5. Software & Code
The Software and Code section provides a space for sharing cybersecurity-related software resources, scripts, tools, automation components, and source code intended to support research, education, analysis, and operational cybersecurity activities.
Content may include defensive security tools, incident response utilities, forensic scripts, malware analysis tooling, automation scripts, configuration templates, proof-of-concept implementations, training utilities, and other cybersecurity-related software resources.
Publicly shareable and open-source projects are recommended to be hosted on dedicated source code management platforms such as GitHub or GitLab, while uploading only the repository link and description into the platform. This approach supports proper version management, collaboration workflows, dependency tracking, and long-term maintainability.
For software that cannot be publicly disclosed, contributors may either:
upload restricted source code archives directly as internal files shared only with registered community, or provide a description of the software together with contact information or access request procedures, allowing controlled sharing on a case-by-case basis.
This approach enables both open collaboration and controlled distribution of sensitive cybersecurity tooling while supporting appropriate security and governance practices.
About the SOCCER Project
The SOCCER project is dedicated to fortifying the cybersecurity capabilities and resilience of the EU, with a paramount focus on ensuring a cyber-secure academia sector. Specifically tailored for CEE countries, the initiative aims to support the establishment and advancement of Security Operations Centres (SOCs) within Universities and Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs).
