LATTICE addresses a structural problem in European cyber defence. Organisations cannot share threat intelligence without revealing their detection methods and their vulnerable assets. Coordination across organisational and national borders therefore takes between twelve and twenty-four hours, while an attacker moves through a network in one or two. We are building a federated platform with three parts: privacy-preserving threat correlation, consensus-based automated response, and a network of federated digital twins. Over the three years we take these components from laboratory validation to a prototype proven in an operational setting, through four pilots in healthcare, cross-sector adversary emulation, federated security operations, and vulnerability intelligence across European CSIRTs.
