During the sessions of the Nicosia Risk Forum 2019 the CYBERTRUST project (https://cyber-trust.eu/) was presented by Additess LTD (www.Additess.com) .
CYBER-TRUST is a H2020 European project which goal is to develop an innovative platform cyber-threat intelligence gathering, detection, and mitigation platform to tackle the grand challenges towards securing the ecosystem of IoT devices. The security problems arising from the flawed design of legacy hardware and embedded devices allows cyber-criminals to easily compromise them and launch large-scale attacks toward critical cyber-infrastructures. The proposed interdisciplinary approach will capture different phases of such emerging attacks, before and after known (even years old) or unknown (zero-day) vulnerabilities have been widely exploited by cyber-criminals to launch the attack.
After the presentation a discussion with the event’s stakeholder took place and potential ways of project output’s exploitation were discussed.
