Midterm project review via teleconference is underway

The THREAT-ARREST’s physical project review meeting, originally planned to take place in Brussels, has been cancelled, instead being reviewed remotely via teleconference. Taking place 27 April, it was a 1-day meeting that gathered the project’s team members to showcase their latest work, performance and development.

THREAT-ARREST aims to demonstrate the use of the THREAT-ARREST framework for effective training against cyber-attacks in the domains of smart energy, healthcare and transport (shipping), using real operational cyber systems within these domains as pilots and, through them, evaluating and validating the framework.

The Pilots

During the review, the THREAT-ARREST presented the three (3) main pilot cases:

Smart Energy System

This pilot focuses on the generation of electricity from solar array installations on domestic household roofs based on a family of products and services. The end-to-end security of the Smart Energy System (SES) is a key requirement. This applies to several general types of security requirements e.g., energy consumption/production data anonymity/integrity; privacy controls over accessibility; high dependability, availability and security of all the smart objects and components involved, etc..

Healthcare Cyber-Security Training

This is a scenario showcasing model-based generation and delivery of training tailored to healthcare organizations of different sizes. This scenario will radically move away from current compliance-driven and technology-driven training programs, which are designed with the suppliers’ interests and capabilities in mind. Instead, it will develop on threat-focused models, prioritizing the threats relevant to the specific organization’s size, IT infrastructure and competence level. This way, the THREAT-ARREST model-based design technique will support customization of cyber-security training for the healthcare domain, focusing only on what is actually relevant for each specific healthcare user.

Smart Shipping Management

This THREAT-ARREST application will increase security awareness in shipping ICT systems’ operators and, security attacks related to the aforementioned failures are expected to be minimized. Moreover, this pilot will help towards identifying specific threats jeopardizing the operations of ICT systems in the Shipping Management industry and engaging multiple stakeholders from the
shipping industry in the exploitation of the THREAT-ARREST training platform.
