Objective

EU-GUARDIAN aims at creating a cutting-edge, accurate and reliable AI-based solution that operates and automates larger parts of incident management and cyber defence processes. Focusing on the ability to detect, mitigate and respond to security challenges semi-automatically or automatically; support analysts and decision-makers at all levels; and contribute to enhancing cyber situational awareness, military infrastructure resilience and protection against advanced cyber threats. On these grounds, EU-GUARDIAN will make progress on understanding the relevant actors and the threat environment where AI-based cyber defence systems will interact with; creating AI-based techniques for detecting and understanding adversarial activity, as well as for building knowledge about own protected ICT systems; shaping AI-based information collection and storage systems that can dynamically adapt their strategy to the situation perceived; and building AI-based decision systems which are risk and impact aware. All components will follow the key requirements of human agency and oversight; technical robustness; privacy; algorithmic transparency; diversity and accountability; and proof-of-concept feasibility analysis will support each component. The multidisciplinary and highly specialised Consortium will present the results of EU-GUARDIAN, which will facilitate the tedious task of analysing large amounts of data; will improve cyber operational capability; drive a reduction in costs; and above all, they will contribute to EU cyber defence posture and to the laying of the foundations for prompting the EU autonomy in development and capacitation of AI-based resources.

Objective

At a time when Europe and the rest of the world are dealing with major obstacles, future challenges will need to be met to ensure growth and sustainability. Post-pandemic, a clear vision is needed to guarantee digital inclusion and ensure health and safety while working towards environmental goals. The EU-funded Hexa-X project seeks to contribute to shape this vision, and develop tools necessary to bring the next generation of wireless communications to Europe and beyond. It will achieve this by working on groundbreaking communication technologies, architectures and artificial intelligence-enabled networks. This will help secure growth and sustainability while creating the future of wireless communications worldwide.

Objective

A methodology for tracking and analysing the needs for standardization and certification harmonization thorough the project life cycle will be defined and enforced, which will allow the early identification of issues related to the conceptualization, design, implementation, integration and deployment of tools for support the EU disaster resiliency; which will be facilitated by a complete consultation strategy to the different stakeholders that are expected to act at each capability development phase, ranging from providers to end users. On these grounds H2020-VALKYRIES will develop, integrate and demonstrate capabilities for enabling immediate and coordinated emergency response including search and rescue, security and health, in scenarios of natural/provoked catastrophes with multiple victims, with special application in cases in which several regions or countries are affected and hence greater interoperability being required. H2020-VALKYRIES will propose both design and development of a modular, interoperable, scalable and secure platform, which will allow the integration between legacy solutions and new technologies. The platform will be able to deploy services and dynamically adapt its behaviour, as the emergency requires it. A series of use cases and demonstrators will be developed placing an emphasis on cross-frontier and cross-sectorial BLOS (Beyond Line of Sight) scenarios, where the usual communications infrastructure could have been damaged, and emergency response teams are deployed without an accurate view of the operation environment.

Objective

PALANTIR aims at bridging the gap between large enterprises and SMEs/MEs, by providing multi-layered, infrastructure-wide threat monitoring, cyber-resiliency and knowledge sharing in a heterogeneous ecosystem, while at the same time being able to market these services to third parties in the form of Security-as-a-service (SECaaS). PALANTIR will implement a coherent privacy assurance, data protection, incident detection and recovery framework, focusing on the case of highly dynamic service-oriented systems and networks, taking advantage of their inherent programmability features and abstractions. PALANTIR will also focus on cyber-resiliency leveraging the features of service-oriented systems key building features by a) applying and exploiting Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technologies; b) considering emerging paradigms such as the application of scalable artificial Intelligence, standardization and threat-sharing techniques to risk analysis, network operation, monitoring and management and c) ensuring the SME’s compliance with the relevant data privacy and protection regulations in the data breach age, implementing the «Privacy by Default» and the «Privacy by Design» principles on how personal data is collected, used, transferred and stored between 3rd party businesses and entities. The end result will be an evolving, expandable and unified framework, tailored to the individual needs of every SME and ME, reducing the complexity level of usual security tools while still being affordable and thus attractive for adoption.

Current interconnection of «things» to the Internet (IoT) has grown significantly in the last years, foreseeing 20 billion of these things by 2020. Internet security constitutes an strategic action for organizations, governments and even individuals, so the security of interconnected «things» requires our attention too. Thus, in this project we will revise the security conditions of such «things» in order to propose a cyber security architecture for IoT systems entailing a holistic security paradigm for the protection of information assets. Such solution should be easy to follow by technology developers, IT areas and users, strengthening this way the technological environments of organizations, as well as the individuals using them. Additionally, we will document such know-how so that we can disseminate the acquired knowledge and describe a potential application of the outcomes over an e-Health scenario.

The management of information security and the protection of information assets deserve a constant attention by those organizations handling highly critical information. SIEM solutions provide a way to tackle this issue by means of security event management functionalities allowing the detection of security incidents that occurred in the past or happening right now and making the organizations able to generate countermeasures to diminish the impact of an incident. Besides the utility of these solutions, its application to SMEs and in public sector entities has not succeeded yet mainly due to the high cost of a SIEM solution and the lack of technical skills required for its deployment, configuration and roll-out. This project intends to generate a SIEM solution prototype that can be used in real scenarios to protect critical information assets exposed to common security threats, without a high economic investment from the organizations benefiting from it. Additionally, all the generated know-how will be documented aiming at disseminating all the lessons learnt and to describe a potential application scenario in the context of e-Health.

En este proyecto se desarrollarán módulos de simulación de tráfico y topologías de red, y de amenazas avanzadas persistentes (APTs) hiperrealistas que simulen de forma efectiva escenarios realistas. En segundo lugar, se utilizará un Cyber Range para integrar dichos módulos de simulación, con un módulo que permita el desarrollo de escenarios de cibermaniobras plantilla parametrizables y aleatorizables, que otorgue flexibilidad al instructor y escenarios desafiantes para el estudiante. En tercer lugar, se integrará al Cyber Range elementos de dos tecnologías educativas en alce actualmente, como la gamificación y el aprendizaje adaptivo, de manera que el proceso de aprendizaje sea más motivante y adaptado. Por último, se desarrollará un módulo de evaluación de competencias en ciberdefensa en función de la interacción de los estudiantes con las cibermaniobras. Las soluciones desarrolladas en este proyecto conformarán módulos independientes y un entorno de trabajo global, que tenga la capacidad de mejorar el entrenamiento en ciberdefensa con simulaciones hiperrealistas en escenarios que puedan variar en cada iteración y adaptarse dinámicamente a las características del estudiante, así como mejorar la motivación de los estudiantes para aprender en este entorno.

We propose an unified framework for combining cybersecurity and safety in manufacturing industrial environments. This framework, called SAFEMAN, is composed of a set of applications and services that monitor and analyse the cybersecurity and safety risks in real time. The individual risk assessments are collected and considered together in order to identify threats or deviations. If required, the framework takes specific actions in order to protect workers and equipment, and develops the adequate response mechanisms to ensure the reliability of the industrial processes.

The COSMOS project, funded by a Leonardo Grant awarded by the BBVA Foundation, 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. Once the appropriate devices have been selected, the sentinels would adapt themselves in order to become experts in the protection of such specific devices against cyber-attacks. Last but not least, in case a new device to be protected comes into play and the assigned sentinel does not know how to protect it, the sentinel would ask for such protection knowledge to other collaborative sentinels in the community.

Furthermore, the IoT sentinels would not only focus on detecting intrusions, but rather cover the four phases of the cyberdefense, namley: prevention, detection, reaction and forensics.

Materialized in two different forms (dedicated and virtual), the sentinels in the context of COSMOS would operate in a Smart Home scenario, where a number of heterogeneous devices can be found (PCs, laptops, smartphones, electrical appliances, wearables, etc.).

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.

The main objective of the RECLAMO project is the research on novel approaches for reacting to network attacks. So, the project will try to go beyond the classic Intrusion Detection Systems approach, based on intrusion detection and basic reactions, and will define, develop and validate an intelligent Automatic Intrusion Response System able to generate new and advanced reactions, with a special focus on the so-called «deception-based» responses: the diversion of the attack to a dynamically ad-hoc generated honeynet for the attack to be adequately confined in order to mitigate it and learn from it. In this approach, a detected intrusion will be analysed in real time using a model of intrusions, responses and security metrics formally defined with formal knowledge and behaviour definition languages, which allow triggering an inference process from the detected intrusion.

The work proposed in this project is aimed at creating a framework that meets the needs for communication and for the infrastructure to provide dedicated services to end-user in ubiquitous vehicular environments. The vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications will have a special relevance in this project. Various communication technologies will be exploited, mainly vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) and networks with infrastructure, whose main representative are 3G cellular networks. We will study the feasibility of such technologies in the area of vehicles; explore new strategies for modeling networks in VANETs, and directing all development towards an integrated environment for a communicating vehicle. In this regard, special attention will be given to provide a common communication interface, isolating the user from handoffs or changes that may occur between different network technologies.

La autenticación continua en dispositivos móviles, como su nombre indica, pretende identificar al propietario (o propietarios) de un determinado dispositivo en todo momento y no de forma puntual, como lo hacen los sistemas tradicionales. El beneficio principal de la autenticación continua es la mejora de la experiencia de los usuarios cuando hacen uso de los servicios o aplicaciones en sus dispositivos móviles. Concretamente, este tipo de autenticación evita el tener que recordar o “poseer” algo cuando se quiere acceder a una aplicación o servicio que requiere autenticación. En este sentido, tener autenticado al usuario de forma permanente aumenta la seguridad del dispositivo, además de permitir que la interacción del usuario con aplicaciones sea mucho más fluida, sencilla y satisfactoria. Así, la prueba de concepto (PdC) que se propone en este proyecto está orientada a la implementación y validación de una aplicación para dispositivos móviles que permitirá la autenticación continua del propietario (o propietarios) en base a su comportamiento con el dispositivo.
