Descripción del proyecto
Una nueva herramienta para que las pequeñas empresas luchen contra los ciberataques
No solo las grandes empresas necesitan prepararse para lucha contra la amenaza de la ciberdelincuencia. Las pymes, que son la columna vertebral de la economía europea, también deben impulsar su ciberseguridad. La dependencia de las pymes de las tecnologías de la información e internet ha abierto la puerta de las vulnerabilidades a la ciberdelincuencia. El proyecto GEIGER, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrollará una tecnología innovadora para pymes y microempresas en Europa. Así, permitirá que para las empresas más pequeñas sea aún más fácil evaluar, supervisar, predecir y reducir riesgos. Por ejemplo, un conjunto de herramientas especial permitirá realizar evaluaciones propias y escalonadas, así como mejoras relativas a la seguridad, la privacidad y la protección de datos con asesoramiento y controles sencillos a fin de mejorar la protección en general.
Objetivo
Our proposed GEIGER will be an innovative solution with associated components and an Education Ecosystem addressing security, privacy and data protection risks of and for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Microenterprises (SMEs&MEs) in Europe. GEIGER will be developed in analogy of a GEIGER counter for detecting atomic radiation threatening human life. The GEIGER solution will be used for assessing, monitoring, and forecasting risks and reducing these risks by improving the SMEs’&MEs’ security with well-curated tools, and an education program targeting practitioners-in-practice as “Certified Security Defenders” bringing security expertise sustainably to SMEs&MEs using existing vocational education frameworks. GEIGER consist of a GEIGER Indicator that dynamically summarizes the current level of risk by evaluating measures undertaken for security defences among the participating SMEs&MEs. The GEIGER Indicator can be personalised by registering the enterprise’s profile and supports GDPR-compliant sharing and exchanging data about incidents. The GEIGER Toolbox allows stepwise do-it-yourself assessment and improvement of the SMEs’&MEs’ security, privacy, and data protection with lightweight controls and advice for improved protection at varied levels of sophistication. The included tools offer endpoint, server, and network protection and guide the SME&ME in a personalised manner in data hygiene, including access and security control, data privacy management, and backup practices. The GEIGER Education Ecosystem offers experimental-based training and cyber range-enabled challenges and will be integrated into curricula of diverse professions of non-ICT experts, offering direct impact on SMEs&MEs through target group-oriented education. The GEIGER solution will be demonstrated in three complementary use cases within three countries. GEIGER will achieve sustainable impact by raising awareness of more than one million SMEs&MEs within a period of 2.5 years after start.
