CitySCAPE - Cyber Security applied to multimodal transport

CitySCAPE will explore all different cybersecurity dimensions realizing a modular software toolkit able to be seamlessly integrated into any multimodal transport.

Where: international
Challenge
Digitisation has led to the transport sector becoming more and more interconnected. Most of the time, transport services are centralised. However, this centralised architecture increases the vulnerability to cyber attacks.
Approach

To tackle this issue, the EU-funded CitySCAPE project will realize a modular software toolkit able to be seamlessly integrated into any multimodal transport systems to:

  • detect suspicious traffic-data values and identify persistent threats;
  •  evaluate the impact of an attack in technical and notably in financial terms;
  • combine external knowledge and internally-observed activities to enhance the predictability of zero-day attacks;
  • instantiate a networked overlay to circulate informative notifications to CERT authorities and support their interplay.

Digital Ecosystem
The solution will be tested over a timely set of use-cases involving ticketing applications, cyber-fraud and location data in the regional transport system in in Tallinn (Estonia) and Genoa (Italy), where extensive experiments will showcase its effectiveness. The findings will steer training sessions of expert/non-expert audience and shape a strong standardization contribution to security (labelling) protocols. CitySCAPE project will improve cybersecurity within multimodal transport.
