CONSOLE' s goal is to advance cybersecurity within the European software development industry. By creating a sophisticated automated platform, complete with integral modules and additional training services, CONSOLE is set to significantly cut acquisition costs for end-users, notably EU SMEs, while maintaining stringent cybersecurity for software applications, systems, and broader user base. The platform will deliver real-time, automated software testing in an authentic environment, deploying modern machine learning algorithms for endpoint detection, ML-enhanced visualisation, dynamic analysis frameworks. The collaborative network consists of 11 entities from 6 EU member states, structured into 5 work packages, each defined by unique objectives, deliverables, and timelines. CONSOLE is dedicated to profoundly improving software development security, underscoring confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Our strategy is not just technical but commercial too, focusing on a market-ready launch and penetration. Through comprehensive analysis, innovative development, stringent testing, and thorough validation within pilot programs spanning multiple sectors, CONSOLE is set to offer a reliable and robust integration into the software development process.

CONSOLE is funded by the European Union Digital Europe programme under Grant Agreement No. 101128070.
