Managing Ambition in a Complex Cybersecurity Project: SAFE4SOC Experience
Throughout 2025, SAFE4SOC partners repeatedly addressed a core challenge: how to balance initial ambition with realistic delivery. PMB discussions in October 2025 explicitly acknowledged that some objectives had been oversized relative to available resources and time.
Rather than diluting the project’s purpose, SAFE4SOC refined its focus. Priority was given to demonstrable results, integration stability, and legacy assets such as standards, tools, and documentation. This pragmatic approach allowed the consortium to preserve impact while reducing risk.
The experience reflects a broader lesson in EU-funded cybersecurity projects: adaptation is not failure, but a sign of responsible management.
Main note: SAFE4SOC shows how adjusting ambition can protect impact and credibility.
