CS-Aware Cybersecurity

The main objective for this project is to provide a cybersecurity situational awareness solution for small- to medium-sized IT infrastructures. This solution enables detect, classify and visualise cybersecurity incidents in real-time, supporting the prevention or mitigation of cyber attacks. The solution will be a big step towards automation of cyber incident detection, classification and visualisation, and will be based on mature big data analysis tools and methodologies provided by consortium partners. To account for the recent legislative initiatives in the context of cybersecurity, most notably the NIS directive and European cybersecurity strategy (but also the General Data Protection Regulation GPDR), that have been put in place in recent years to improve cybersecurity in Europe and beyond. Cooperation, collaboration and information sharing are a key aspect of those initiatives. With this solution we provide an enabling technology for the information sharing efforts of recent cybersecurity initiatives that is in line with the (currently actively developing) information sharing communities. Furthermore, the project takes advantage of existing shared cybersecurity related information to enable and refine incident detection.
