BLUE BELL, PA — Unisys (NYSE: UIS) announced that it has been chosen by the European Commission to lead the EUCybersafe Consortium, a coalition formed to strengthen cybersecurity operations across European Union institutions. The agreement falls under the EC’s Cybersecurity Professional Services Framework Contract (FREIA) and is designed to enhance digital resilience across 71 EU institutions and agencies, including the European Commission, the Council, and the European Parliament.
The four-year contract will provide services such as risk management, secure architecture design, incident response, and threat intelligence to safeguard critical public systems. The initiative follows a June 2025 European Commission report showing that nearly one in five cyberattacks target public administration, underscoring the urgent need for advanced security measures in the sector.
“As a prime target for cyber attackers – including state-sponsored groups and hacktivists – the EU public sector faces significant challenges in protecting its digital assets,” said Manju Naglapur, senior vice president and general manager of Cloud, Applications & Infrastructure Solutions at Unisys. “We are proud to serve alongside our EUCybersafe Consortium partners as trusted service providers to EU institutions, bringing our expertise and innovative solutions. Together, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting the EU’s strategic goals of digital sovereignty and resilience.”
Unisys will lead the consortium, which includes Uni Systems and Wavestone, in providing a suite of cybersecurity services:
- Continuous Threat Exposure Management: Integrates attack surface and vulnerability management with AI-driven threat intelligence to anticipate and counter emerging risks.
- Managed Detection and Response: Delivers 24/7 monitoring, real-time threat mitigation, and scalable incident response to defend against evolving attacks.
- Cyber Recovery: Focuses on restoring mission-critical assets during crises, leveraging automation, secure vault platforms, and managed recovery services.
The FREIA contract positions Unisys and its partners at the forefront of the EU’s efforts to build a more secure digital ecosystem amid rising cyber threats.
