Industrial-Driven Big Data as a Self-Service Solution (I-BiDaaS)

The convergence of IoT, cloud, and Big Data environments creates new opportunities for self-service analytics towards a complete paradigm of big data analytics. Human and machine-created data is being aggregated, transforming our economy and society. To face these challenges, companies call upon expert analysts and consultants to assist them. These trends lead us to one of the mains challenges of the data economy, Big-Data-as-a-Self-Service.

The goal of the I-BiDaas project is to explore and develop a self-service solution that will be transformative for organizations, empower their employees with the right knowledge, and give the true decision-makers the insights they need to make the right decisions. This will shift the power balance within an organization, increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve employee empowerment, and increase profitability. The I-BiDaaS consortium will explore three critical industry domains with significant challenges and requirements: banking, manufacturing, and telecommunications.

Cyber Security Threats and Threat Actors Training - Assurance Driven Multi-Layer, end-to-end Simulation and Training (THREAT-ARREST)

Today, interconnected devices are everywhere and cyber infrastructures are helping the acquisition, storage, sharing, integration and processing of data through distributed software services that cut across organizational and geographical boundaries. The unprecedented levels of data sharing, interoperability, and complexity of cyber systems also opened the way for sophisticated multi-faceted cyber-attacks.

The goal of the THREAT-ARREST project is to is to develop an advanced training and simulation framework for cyber defense. The framework will incorporate emulation, simulation, gaming, and visualization to help stakeholders with different types of responsibility and levels of expertise counter known and new cyber-attacks.

Integrated Framework for Predictive and Collaborative Security of Financial Infrastructures (FINSEC)

Infrastructures for the financial sector are now more critical, sophisticated, and interconnected than ever before, which makes them increasingly vulnerable to security attacks. Despite increased security, most security measures remain unable to confront sophisticated and asymmetric attacks.

FINSEC is a joint effort of prominent stakeholders in the financial sector and global leaders in physical and IT security, to introduce a new standards-based reference architecture (RA) that integrates cyber and physical security. The RA will enable timely preparation against attacks, while facilitating the collaboration of stakeholders to reduce risk in the financial supply chain. FINSEC will provide a mature implementation of the RA, based on the enhancement and integration of innovative solutions from the partners, including anomaly detection, AI CCTV analytics, risk assessment engines, collaborative risk analysis and Management, and compliance.. The RA implementation and the toolbox will be validated through realistic pilots involving stakeholders in the identification, assessment, and mitigation of threats.
