OBJECTIVE
Objective #1
Help managers of Communication CIs to guarantee improved business and asset continuity, delivering an innovative platform for optimized decision support in the face of physical, cyber and combined cyber-physical
Objective #2
Develop an Integrated Risk and Resilience analysis and management tool, that takes account of cyber and/or physical threats and disruptions jointly at the level of telecommunication service functions and performance functions
Objective #3
Provide, experiment and assess a suite of innovative cyber/physical security solutions for prevention, protection, detection and reaction that can deliver unprecedented cost-effective performances in a holistic technology framework
Objective #4
Support a progressive adoption path for the RESISTO platform and services through extensive validation in relevant use cases for Communication Infrastructure protection (TRL 7) directly involving relevant Communication CI operators, arising awareness and promoting a joint approach to resilience
Objective #5
Contribute to the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection and to the objectives of the Cybersecurity Strategy of the European Union (as well as convergence of of safety and security standards and Directive 2009/140 EC regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services)
EXPECTED RESULTS
• State-of-the-art analysis of physical/cyber detection technologies and risk scenarios of Communication CIs
• Innovative tools, concepts, and technologies for combatting combined physical/cyber threats to Communication Cis (RESISTO framework).
• Security risk management plans integrating systemic and both physical and cyber aspects
• Extended validation of the RESISTO framework against physical/cyber threats across three verticals: current, future (towards 5G) and interconnected Communication infrastructures
• Convergence of safety and security standards, establishment and dissemination throughout the relevant user communities of specific models for information sharing on incidents, threats and vulnerabilities. Support to ECSO
