Strategies and Services for Enhanced Disruption Resilience and Cooperation in Europe

Project description

Making critical infrastructure resilient in Europe

A proactive and collaborative approach is required to ensure resilience against cyber threats, physical attacks, human errors, and natural disasters. Currently, there is a siloed approach to critical infrastructure resilience and the business continuity of essential services. The EU-funded ENDURANCE project aims to strengthen Europe’s essential services against potential disruptions by focusing on critical assets and infrastructure. It recognises the importance of the CER and NIS2 Directives in building resilience and seeks to help authorities across the EU understand and implement both directives harmoniously. The project will develop datasets, registries, technologies, and services for secure sharing and federated processing of CER-relevant data, joint risk and resilience assessments, and large-scale stress testing of preparedness.

Objective

Amidst an increasingly interconnected and complex world, the provision of essential services remains crucial for the well-being of European citizens and the smooth functioning of the internal market. Yet, the ever-evolving landscape of risks, ranging from cyber threats, physical attacks, and human errors to natural disasters, demands a proactive and collaborative, pan-European approach to ensuring disruption resilience. Therefore, ENDURANCE is driven by the critical need to fortify Europe’s essential services against potential disruptions, transcending the sole focus on the underlaying critical assets.
Recognizing the significance of the CER and NIS2 Directives in setting the groundwork for resilience and, in parallel, the current silo approach to the Critical Infrastructure (CI) resilience and the business continuity of essential services they provide, we will assist the CI authorities across the EU in fully grasping and harmoniously implementing both directives. By comprehensively understanding and preparing for the demands of these legislative measures (and their national implementations), we aim to empower the EU MS authorities and CI operators with the know-how, methodologies, services, and strategies needed to navigate the complexities of disruption resilience effectively.
With a team of 9 excellent research, technology, and business developing organisations (all with vast experience in INFRA projects), and with 7 EU MS authorities and 6 CI operators representing 6 critical sectors and 4 EU MS, ENDURANCE will: (i) Enhance strategic cooperation and collaboration among the CI stakeholders at all levels. (ii) Develop datasets, registries, methodologies, technologies, and services (at TRL6-7) for secure sharing and federated processing of CER-relevant data, joint assessment of relevant risks and resilience, and large-scale stress-testing of preparedness. (iii) Provide harmonised and pragmatic strategy for the continuity of the interconnected essential services.
