SmaRt, AutOmated, and ReliaBle SecUrity Service PlaTform for 6G

Livrables

The document provides a report on the state of the art to identify the current mechanisms available to enable Zero-touch automation and how to use it to implement the concept of Security-as-a-Service (SaaS). Functional design ROBUST-6G security management mechanism with focus on security orchestration, flexible monitoring, and threat detection and notification. Available early implementation of the modules and interfaces with physical layer and AI/ML services will be also reported.

Use Cases, Requirements, ROBUST-6G Initial Architecture and Initial ROBUST-6G Dataspace

A document detailing the use cases proposed in the scope of the project, along with their technical and business requirements, and the initial release of the ROBUST-6G architecture and the ROBUST-6G dataspace, aligned with the availability of the dataspace software. The document will feed WP6 with definition of use cases and will provide requirements for the implementation of cyber threat capabilities in WP3, WP4, and WP5.

6G Threat Analysis Report

A document that will include: i) a review on the state of the art on existing solutions for threat detection and protection; and ii) an analysis of the characterization of security threats tin 6G networks. This document will serve as basis for the design of cyber threat capabilities implemented in WP3, WP4, and WP5.

Threat Assessment and Prevention Report

The assessment of the threats presented in D2.1, specifically related to the AI-security threats, will be assessed in this deliverable, and AI-driven 6G security solutions and their prevention mechanisms will be presented aligning with the presented assessment.
