To unveil the cyber-posture of MEs, PrOTectME automates the Vulnerability Assessment of IT-OT infrastructures and the quantification of cascading effects of cyber-attacks and incidents. To maximize ROI, it recommends the optimal combination of cybersecurity solutions (including cyber insurance) that mitigate/transfer cyber risks. PrOTectME also supports the assessment of the compliance gap against specific cyber and risk management standards. Engineering has developed the application to support the decision-making process. PrOTectME project has received funding from the EIT Digital (Activity number: 21293)
