Active Projects

SELFNET - Framework for Self-Organized Network Management in Virtualized and Software Defined Networks

The SELFNET project designs and implements an autonomic network management framework to achieve self-organizing capabilities in managing network infrastructures by automatically detecting and mitigating a range of common network problems that are currently still being manually addressed by network operators, thereby significantly reducing operational costs and improving user experience.

BotsOnFIRE - Mitigation of Botnets in Federated SDN/NFV Infrastructures for 5G

BotsOnFIRE is intended to demonstrate how an autonomic solution based on a combination of NFV orchestration and SDN applications can be dynamically and automatically adapted in case of cybersecurity threats (e.g. bot agents from a botnet) affecting devices which can move across different domains.

COSMOS: Collaborative, Seamless and Adaptive Sentinels for the Internet of Things

The COSMOS projec intends to develop novel and innovative solutions aimed at providing sophisticated protection mechanisms within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). In this regard, its overall and main goal lies in the development of the so-called collaborative, seamless and adaptive sentinels. Such sentinels would seamlessly sense their environment, automatically identifying all those devices in the nearby to be potentially protected.

Concluded Projects

DHARMA

The DHARMA (Dynamic Heterogeneous threAts Risk Management and Assessment) project aims to provide a framework for the achievement of an efficient Dynamic Risk Management and Assurance in ICT environments taking into account new types of threats known as APTs (Advanced Persistent Threats). These threats are characterised for not using just the classical means of penetration based on software vulnerabilities, but a combination of heterogeneous attack vectors customized for the organization and its employees, including the use of physical intrusions, employees deception, sensitive information abuse, side channels, etc. Thus, the current methodologies cannot manage adequately this dynamicity, with changes in context being a possible symptom of a new vulnerability and implying a potential modification in the list of risks identified for the organization. The DHARMA project is devoted to provide an answer to this shortcoming, proposing a multilevel architecture where a remarkable number of heterogeneous sensors will capture any change in the organization context (not just traditional network attacks, but any type of context change), namely: variations in the normal usage of systems and networks, electric consumption deviations, physical security incidents with presence detectors and video surveillance, ambient sensors, social networks activity sensors, and even the characterization of labour unrest in the organization in order to anticipate possible insider attacks by malicious employees.

RECLAMO

The RECLAMO project is aimed at designing and creating an advanced framework for enhancing current attack and intrusion detection and reaction proposals. To get this objective, the current workplan will be dealing with security-related technologies that can be used when providing novel solutions to the proposed problem. Concepts like autonomic system, ontologies and Semantic Web, trust and reputation management, collaborative intrusion detection and prevention systems, self-protection, and virtualised honeynets should be combined them in a single solution to provide an automated response system to attacks and intrusions. For this, the concept of self-protection (which is one of the four key characteristics of any autonomic system) will be the key concept driving the main component of the system, providing the ability to infer the most appropriate response for a given intrusion, taking into account not just the intrusion, but also many other parameters related to the intrusion, like the context, the trust and reputation of the network source, etc. This autonomic system will use formally defined information models (with ontologies) for combining intrusion information, self-evaluation learnt parameters, trust and reputation of the different involved elements and information coming from collaborative IDS/IPS systems in the same or different administrative domain. This information will be evaluated with a set of security metrics represented in a formally defined behaviour specification language, like SWRL, in order to reason and to infer the most appropriate response, taking into account all the inputs and other criteria specified in the security metrics.
