Descrizione del progetto
Un innovativo kit di strumenti di cibersicurezza per le piccole e medie imprese
Le PMI dipendono sempre più dalla tecnologia innovativa. Tuttavia, secondo uno studio del 2016 dell’Agenzia dell’Unione europea per la cibersicurezza (ENISA), le PMI non sono adeguatamente protette quando si tratta di standard di sicurezza delle informazioni e della privacy, nonostante le crescenti preoccupazioni relative ai rischi per la sicurezza delle informazioni. Nel campo della cibersicurezza, le PMI spesso non riescono a comprendere del tutto i rischi associati alle tecnologie innovative e l’obbligo di avere sufficienti misure di sicurezza contro la criminalità informatica. Per affrontare queste sfide, il progetto SMESEC, finanziato dall’UE, intende creare un quadro accessibile che comprenda un kit di strumenti di cibersicurezza su misura, in grado di aiutare le PMI a gestire efficacemente i rischi e le minacce alla sicurezza delle informazioni in rete. Questo kit permetterà inoltre di individuare le opportunità per adottare in modo sicuro tecnologie innovative nell’ambito del mercato digitale.
Obiettivo
Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) are an important driver for innovation and growth in the EU. SMEs also stand to gain the most from innovative technology, because it is complicated and costly for them to set-up and run ICT in the traditional way. Taking into account cyber-security, SMEs do not always understand all the risks and business consequences for the development of technologies without the adequate level of protection against cybercrime.
The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) declares on the “Information security and privacy Standards for SMEs” study of 2016 that, despite rising concerns on information security risks, the level of SMEs information security and privacy Standard adoption is relatively low.
SMESEC consortium is proposing to develop a cost-effective framework composed of specific cyber-security tool-kit to support SMEs in managing network information security risks and threats, as well as in identifying opportunities for implementing secure innovative technology in the digital market; for this consortium, it is important that SMEs do not only look at cyber-security as an obstacle, but also they understand the business opportunity beyond it.
In this scenario, an international group of experts proposes SMESEC as a response to the cyber-security challenges for business companies with a limited background on cyber-security and a restricted budget. The SMESEC project will be developed in 36 months by a competitive consortium of 12 partners from 7 countries, which corresponds to a well-balanced structure, involving big companies, SMEs, research centres and universities. Despite the great diversity of entities within the proposal, SMESEC is an industry-oriented project, since the private companies will cover more than 73% of the total project costs, and will be led by a big company, ATOS, with many years of experience on project management and cyber-security.
