Pilots & Use Cases

GANNDALF in action: testing innovation against real cybercrime challenges

GANNDALF’s use cases bring the project’s tools into realistic and controlled environments, where they are tested by law enforcement agencies, practitioners and citizens. Led by end-users, these activities will assess the operational value, usability and trustworthiness of the solutions developed by the project.

The use cases address three complementary challenges:

• protecting public-safety systems against cyberattacks;
• enabling secure cross-border investigations and cooperation; and
• strengthening professional training and citizens’ cyber awareness.

All experimentation is conducted under appropriate security, legal and ethical safeguards, using synthetic or anonymised data where required. Explore the individual use cases below to discover the challenges being addressed, the GANNDALF solutions involved and their expected impact.

Thematic subsection 

Three thematic subsections, grouping the use cases according to the main challenge they address:

• Technical & Cybersecurity: validating tools that support LEAs in detecting, analysing, investigating and containing cyberattacks, while strengthening the resilience of public-safety infrastructure and other critical systems. Use Case 1.4.1
• Cross-border Cooperation: testing secure, near-real-time information exchange and joint investigation workflows between agencies in different countries. As cybercrime operates across borders, an effective response requires coordinated international cooperation.
• Training & Awareness: strengthening investigators’ knowledge and practical skills through multilingual training and scenario-based exercises, while engaging citizens through GANNDALF’s Cyber Hygiene 2.0 approach to help them recognise, prevent and report cyber threats.
