Ongoing projects

CyberUnity

CYBERUNITY is a project launched by the European Commission with a primary focus on cybersecurity. Its main goal is to build an interoperable community of Cyber Ranges in Europe by initially bringing together the cyber ranges owned and operated by the partners in the consortium. This initiative aims to develop open interoperability specifications and provide the first interoperable cyber range infrastructure. Additionally, CYBERUNITY will deploy a secure framework that enables cross-organization and cross-border integrated cyber range services, with capabilities demonstrated through several cross-border scenarios involving systems in critical sectors. The project is expected to benefit about 2000 cyber defenders from all regions of Europe, including those with less access to unified cyber range facilities.

Project duration: 01/2024 – 12/2026

FACT

The Federated Advanced Cyber physical Test range (FACT) project will provide an unprecedented new European capability to test and verify the cyber vulnerability of equipment. The FACT capability will be based on two pioneering and unique assets:

• The ability to integrate and federate the advanced capabilities and expertise of the project partners in a revolutionary way to achieve, within 3 years, a level commensurate with a versatile, diverse and constantly evolving cyber threat.

• The design and development of a hybrid reference architecture for the federation of cyber-physical test beds, tested and qualified according to three scenarios that together cover most operational situations.

Ultimately, these ground-breaking cyber resilience assessment tools will pave the way for the EU’s autonomy and ability to create and integrate a federated cyberphysical test bed at an affordable cost.

FACT is a development project selected by the European Defence Fund (2022 edition) - European Commission.

Project duration: 12/2023 – 11/2026

Newsroom

Cyberspace has become an increasingly contested military domain. To mitigate significant incidents with immediate consequences for both military and civil critical infrastructures, strategic cooperation among EU member states and allied countries in cyber defence is needed. The first step towards effective defence is to obtain situational awareness, which is the basis for any successful counteraction. In particular, cyber situational awareness (CSA) aims at providing all stakeholders and personnel of all levels and forces in the chain of command with accurate information about the current threat landscape, according to the individual needs of the users. Building CSA, especially in a cross-domain and cross-country fashion, is a complex task, requiring successful integration of research from different fields, including but not limited to data and CTI collection, collaborative and federated learning, attack behavior classification, visualization techniques, cryptography for CTI sharing and trust, or deception technologies and digital twins. However, state of the art solutions do not provide a full integration of all necessary technologies and tools to offer a holistic CSA picture. The main ambition of NEWSROOM is therefore to overcome the current limitations, by studying all relevant CSA aspects, and designing an integrated CSA platform combining data insights, collaborative intrusion detection for attack classification, and information and CTI sharing considering military standards regarding information security and confidentiality. Advanced visualization concepts will allow for a mission-specific view at all levels of the command hierarchy. Following a co-creation approach involving all relevant stakeholders, NEWSROOM will identify relevant application scenarios for CSA technologies in cyber defence, which will be validated in cyber range environments to enable realistic conditions for testing CSA solutions and processes, and training military staff.
