Project description DEENESFRITPL Protecting critical information infrastructure from cybercriminals Europe’s critical information infrastructure (CII) are those interconnected information and communication infrastructures essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions (health, safety, security, economic or social well-being of people). Any disruption or destruction would have serious consequences. In today’s digital era, the increased usage of information technology in modern CIIs makes them vulnerable to cyber-related crime. The EU-funded CyberSANE project will enhance their security and resilience by providing a dynamic collaborative warning and response system. This will support and guide security officers to recognise, identify, dynamically analyse, forecast, treat and respond to advanced persistent threats and handle their daily cyber incidents utilising and combining both structured data and unstructured data coming from social networks and the dark web. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective In the digital era, Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are operating under the premise of robust and reliable ICT components, complex ICT infrastructures and emerging technologies and are transforming into Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIs) that can offer a high degree of flexibility, scalability, and efficiency in the communication and coordination of advanced services and processes. The increased usage of information technology in modern CIIs means that they are becoming more vulnerable to the activities of hackers and other perpetrators of cyber-related crime (cyber criminals). Several recent studies have shown that the landscape of cyber threats is changing continuously and the nature of attacks of this sort are evolving, involving a great degree of persistence and (technical) sophistication. In addition to this, barriers to entry for would-be cyber criminals are falling rapidly, and nowadays, the attackers have a range of (technical) capabilities and substantial resources at their disposal, since malware and malware-as-a service become more easily and cheaply available through various means and sources (such as Dark Web, Deep Web). Thus, a variety of advanced techniques and tools (e.g. social engineering techniques and zero-day exploits programs) are available and can be used by the cyber criminals to initiate advanced targeted attacks. These threats employ multiple technologies and malware, deployed in multiple stages, to bypass traditional security mechanisms in order to penetrate an organization’s defenses. The attack vectors vary significantly including Application-Layer, Social Engineering Unauthorized Access, Malicious Code, and Reconnaissance and Networking-based service attacks that target applications, host and client operating systems, and even networking equipment. In this vein, the attackers use these techniques to get valuable data assets, such as financial transaction information, user credentials, insider information etc. Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresoftware applicationssystem softwareoperating systemsnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencescomputer securitymalicious softwaresocial scienceslawcriminology Keywords Cyber Security Critical Information Infrastructures Incident Response advanced persistent threats machine learning Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Main Programme Topic(s) SU-ICT-01-2018 - Dynamic countering of cyber-attacks Call for proposal H2020-SU-ICT-2018-2020 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-SU-ICT-2018 Funding Scheme IA - Innovation action Coordinator PDM E FC PROJECTO DESENVOLVIMENTO MANUTENCAO FORMACAO E CONSULTADORIALDA Net EU contribution € 421 312,50 Address R amadeu sousa cardoso 20 1 dto 1300 066 Lisboa Portugal See on map Region Continente Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 180 562,50 Participants (16) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all ATOS SPAIN SA Spain Net EU contribution € 319 375,00 Address Calle de albarracin 25 28037 Madrid See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 136 875,00 CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE DELLE RICERCHE Italy Net EU contribution € 296 625,00 Address Piazzale aldo moro 7 00185 Roma See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 S2 GRUPO SOLUCIONES DE SEGURIDAD SL Spain Net EU contribution € 249 375,00 Address Calle ramiro de maeztu 7 bajo 46022 Valencia See on map Region Este Comunitat Valenciana Valencia/València Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 106 875,00 INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE EN INFORMATIQUE ET AUTOMATIQUE France Net EU contribution € 303 750,00 Address Domaine de voluceau rocquencourt 78153 Le chesnay cedex See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Yvelines Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 MAGGIOLI SPA Italy Net EU contribution € 401 187,50 Address Via del carpino 8 47822 Santarcangelo di romagna See on map Region Nord-Est Emilia-Romagna Rimini Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 171 937,50 UBITECH LIMITED Cyprus Net EU contribution € 421 312,50 Address 26 nikou & despinas pattchi 3071 Limassol See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
