An Integrated Cyber Security Risk & Resilience Management Platform, With Holistic Situational Awareness, Incident Response & Preparedness Capabilities

Project description

A unified solution to boost digital defences

As the digital landscape expands, so does the threat of cyberattacks, posing a grave risk to our interconnected world. Organisations grapple with the escalating complexity of cyber threats, demanding a more robust defence mechanism. Enter SYNAPSE, an EU-funded initiative poised to transform cybersecurity by designing an Integrated Cyber Security Risk & Resilience Management Platform. This groundbreaking project tackles the pressing issues of fragmented incident response, inadequate situational awareness and the growing need for comprehensive cybersecurity training, offering a unified solution to fortify our digital defences. With its holistic approach, SYNAPSE fosters shared situational awareness and coordinated response, heralding a new era in European cybersecurity.

Objective

SYNAPSE aims to design, develop & deliver an Integrated Cyber Security Risk & Resilience Management Platform, with holistic Situational Awareness, Incident Response & Preparedness capabilities. The proposed platform will encompass: (i) Incident Response through process automation and orchestration mechanisms, also covering organisational/business aspects (e.g. business continuity processes); (ii) AI-enhanced Situational Awareness, encompassing extraction & analytics of actionable and pertinent Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI), along with attack early warning & threat hunting systems; (iii) Preparedness through cybersecurity, privacy & business continuity training, covering different training delivery means, allowing it to tailor the delivery method to the content; (iv) Technical & economic risk management, integrating outputs of (i)-(iii) above and supporting risk-benefit analyses (including what-if scenarios) to inform decision-making and enable risk transfer schemes with Smart Contract-enabled cybersecurity insurance; (v) Continuous feedback between (i)-(iv) above, along with standards-based sharing, alerting & reporting (intra- & inter- Member State), based on outputs of (i)-(iii) above, thus enabling the establishment of shared situational awareness, coordinated response and joint preparedness
