Description du projet
Des outils pour se protéger contre les cyberattaques
La directive de l’Union européenne sur la sécurité des réseaux et de l’information (SRI) est le premier texte de la législation européenne qui porte sur la cybersécurité. Elle vise à garantir que la cybersécurité des systèmes essentiels au fonctionnement de la société soit dûment contrôlée. Mettant l’accent sur le secteur financier, le plus attaqué et, en tant que tel, celui qui a le plus de réglementations à respecter, le projet SOTER s’attachera à développer des outils pour lutter contre les cyberattaques et les vulnérabilités futures. Ces outils amélioreront les interconnexions entre les différents fournisseurs de services et utilisateurs et aideront à évaluer le niveau de cybersécurité effectif. Cela renforcera la confiance dans les produits, services et processus liés aux technologies de l’information et des communications.
Objectif
The Digitalization Era implies many advantages for businesses and citizens. However, new threats arise, especially in what concerns data privacy and the use of digital identities. These threats must be tackled under a holistic approach and pointing at their different origins, including the human factor. The European Union is reinforcing the legal framework to contribute to this need, including important requirements to be fulfilled, especially in the context of critical sectors identified under the NIS Directive. Finance is one of them, actually the most restrictive, because of the number of regulations to comply with. This makes finance the perfect scenario for testing tools, before transferring the results to other sectors. That is why SOTER is mainly focused on it, aiming at providing a comprehensive set of tools that will act as a transformative process of the finance sector, helping their players to increase their cybersecurity level, enabling the fight against present and future cyberattacks and vulnerabilities. The results will then increase their cyber-resilience.
SOTER main results will be: SOTER Digital Onboarding Platform (the technology tool to provide a robust and sovereign digital identity, facilitating the interconnections between different services providers and the users), improved by the use of blockSOTER will offer tools that are able to determine the level of cyber security that exists in a certain entity, to improve if that is the case. We intend to get this through a comprehensive risk analysis to create contingency plans and direct action measures that can mitigate threats and security attacks.
In the case of the finance sector, we propose to test and analyze a cloud platform of Digital Onboarding with two main features:
• use of technologies blockchain
• innovative systems of biometric identification of users
Derived from this, training actions for end users will be generated so they are able to detect and deal with this type of threats.
