INFRASTRESS

Improving resilience of sensitive industrial plants & infrastructures exposed to cyber-physical threats, by means of an open testbed stress-testing system

Objective

InfraStress addresses cyber-physical (C/P) security of Sensitive Industrial Plants and Sites (SIPS) and Critical Infrastructures (CI) and improves 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 in the infrastructure itself, the environment, other CIs, and citizens in vicinity, at reasonable cost.

Impact

InfraStress builds on preceding research towards a Technology Readiness Level 7 solution that includes threat detection, situational awareness, input from end-users and evaluation activities, presented in user-friendly services. With its integrated customised solutions, InfraStress also hopes to help cultivate a culture of participation among all involved stakeholders, from the private and public sector to civil society and citizens.

INOV Participation

INOV brings its strong expertise in innovation management, leading this activity in the project. INOV leads the development of the Smart Detection Systems based on the use of crowdsensing sensors and information retrieval from social networks. INOV leads the Information Sharing module with an integrated chat room component and an Intelligent Digital Assistant for natural conversation interactions with users. INOV also contributes in pilots’ preparation and planning and provides supports to the InfraStress Framework for cyber-physical protection of SIPS.
