🛡️ During BEYOND Expo 2026, MetaMind innovations - MINDS presented the project at the Περιφέρεια Δυτικής Μακεδονίας / Region of Western Macedonia Pavilion., introducing visitors to its work on strengthening the awareness, preparedness and resilience of European .

💡 Visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the NERO Ecosystem and its three use cases in healthcare, transportation and logistics, and finance, where project technologies are being validated against sector-specific cybersecurity needs.

⚙️ As part of the project, contributes to NERO through two cybersecurity technologies: M-RADAR and M-HaaS (Honeypot as a Service). M-RADAR supports AI-based network monitoring, anomaly and intrusion detection and real-time security visualisation, while M-HaaS uses intelligent honeypots to capture and analyse malicious network activity.

Through these technologies, MINDS supports NERO's validation activities and helps explore practical ways to improve threat detection, network visibility and cyber resilience.

The event provided an opportunity to introduce NERO's work to visitors and discuss how cybersecurity technologies can support more secure and resilient organisations across critical sectors.

We would like to thank everyone who visited our booth and learned more about the NERO and MINDS' contribution to it.

🤝 Special thanks to the Περιφέρεια Δυτικής Μακεδονίας / Region of Western Macedonia and the Deputy Regional Governor for Entrepreneurship and Transport, Nikos Lyssaridis, for hosting and supporting MINDS' participation at 2026.
