For the duration of the project, the SPHINX consortium produced a comprehensive list of use cases, user requirements and an evaluation methodology and criteria of success for its multitude of methodologies and tools. These resulted in a complete system architecture after two iterations of development. Research was performed on situational awareness standards, and techniques, tools, and technologies related to it, like Vulnerability and Risk Assessment, ML intrusion detection, including standards and automated certification. Further to these subjects, research was performed on decision support capabilities, behaviour and attack simulations, anomaly detection, sandboxed environments, blockchain as used in a threats registry, AI Honeypots, Security information and event management systems, as well as homomorphic encryption capabilities for the transfer of medical data.
The SPHINX consortium moved from theory to practice, implementing these tools, test them, integrate them with a common cyber security toolkit, including advanced visualisation dashboards and third parties enabling APIs. This process happened over two major development and testing iterations with the SPHINX Ecosystem Demo Platform deployed in all three pilot sites, and the measurements collected were validated against the KPIs set. The intensive dissemination led to the organising and taking part in multiple workshops and events, training activities, synergistic activities with other closely linked projects (PANACEA and CureX), scientific publications and participation in scientific conferences etc.
