Research Project

7SHIELD: Big Data, Machine Learning, Threat Monitoring vs cyber-attacks

The project will provide security standards for space systems, ground segments and satellite data assets, through cyber threat prevention, detection and mitigation

Where: international
Challenge
Enable the deployment of innovative services for cyber-physical protection of ground segments (such as e-fences, passive radars and laser technologies, multimedia AI technologies) and able to confront complex threats by covering all the macro-stages of crisis management, namely pre-crisis, crisis and post-crises phases.​
Approach
The early warning mechanism estimates the level of risk before the occurrence of a cyber or physical attack. During an attack, the detection and response is effective and efficient, taking into account budgetary constraints. A mitigation plan is designed and automatically updated to offer a quick recovery after an intentional attack or a system failure. The project 7SHIELD aims to provide a holistic framework that enhances infrastructure protection capabilities while integrating or interoperating with existing protection solutions that are already deployed.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
Solution will integrate advanced technologies for data integration, processing, and analytics, machine learning and recommendation systems, data visualization and dashboards, data security and cyber threat protection. The technological solution is co-designed with first responders’ teams and contributes to policy making, standardisation and new guidelines for contingency planning and service continuity. The project will be evaluated and demonstrated in five installations of ground segments of space systems. ​Engineering is the project coordinator. The activities of the project will be undertaken by R&D Department. In addition, Engineering monitors the pilot preparation and planning. Engineering develops the exploitation and sustainability plan, and manages the Intellectual Property protection for the proposed solutions.​
