A research project to improve the cyber-physical protection of Sensitive Industrial Plants and Sites by means of an open stress-testing system.
Approach & Solution
Approach
Security threats, whether physical or cyber-related (C/P), are an increasing concern for sensitive industrial plants and infrastructures. Current solutions are fragmented and cannot address tailored and integrated activities from both kinds of threats.
The research project InfraStress addresses cyber-physical security of Sensitive Industrial Plants and Sites (SIPS) Critical Infrastructure to improve resilience and protection capabilities of SIPS exposed to large scale, combined, C/P threats and hazards, and guarantee continuity of operations, while minimizing cascading effects at reasonable cost.

Solution
InfraStress builds on preceding research towards a Technology Readiness Level 7 solution and provides an integrated framework including C/P threat detection, Situational Awareness, Threat Intelligence, an innovative methodology for resilience assessment and management.
Engineering is the project coordinator and the project activities are carried out by its Research&Development Department, which brings in the project the knowledge and some assets related to the global architecture of the InfraStress framework and the integration of InfraStress components, the design and implementation plan and the continuous integration and deployment activities. The solutions are demonstrated in 5 real-world pilots. The project has received co-funding from H2020-SU-INFRA01-2018 the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme - Contract No. 833088.
