WP2 focused on three primary activities: (i) gathering technical, business, and legal requirements which led to the interim design of the PALANTIR platform, (ii) detailing the three Use Cases, and (iii) conducting preliminary security risk assessments for SMEs/MEs, culminating in a risk assessment framework. By M20, WP2 honed in on architecture adjustments and security enhancements. Notably, deliverables D2.3 and D2.4 marked the completion of the phase.
WP3 was dedicated to (i) provisioning and overseeing Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) within a structured setup, and (ii) implementing a Risk Assessment Framework. Later stages improved available security services and evolved the Risk Assessment Framework. The significant highlight was the submission of deliverable D3.2 which highlighted design decisions and enhanced threat monitoring capabilities.
WP4 created the technical specification for threat management components, achieving a foundational subset. Between M19 to M30, the efforts were on finalizing specifications, complementing components, and integration across PALANTIR projects. This phase had advancements like the cybersecurity dashboard and an expanded incident response service. Despite initial plans to conclude WP4 at M31, it shifted to M34. The final emphasis lay on consolidating technical aspects, notably the attestation engine.
WP5 revolved around the creation and rollout of the Hybrid Threat Intelligence component, leveraging Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Pursuing this, WP5 emphasized its second release. This phase amplified data analytics modules, integrated Anomaly Detection, and added Threat Classification modules. The notable progress was in enhancing the design and features of the Hybrid Threat Intelligence component, accentuating multi-tenancy support.
WP6 concentrated on integrating components from WP3, WP4, and WP5, ensuring functional testing and performance verification. Between M19-M30, coordination for integration and validation was paramount. PALANTIR's deployment across various pilot sites gathered invaluable feedback which directed necessary modifications. The subsequent focus remained on the integration, validation, and preparing for multiple use-case pilots, with constructive feedback looped back to WP3/4/5.
WP7 campaigned the project's visibility through publications, conferences, and collaborations with standardization entities. The output included 9 journal publications, 16 workshop and conference features, and 8 distinct online event presentations. PALANTIR's contribution to standardization bodies, including the ETSI ZSM group and IETF, was noteworthy. On the commercial front, nine components stood out as Key Exploitable Results, with a techno-economic analysis validating PALANTIR platform's potential.
