The next-generation cybersecurity tools

Call: HORIZON-JU-SNS-2024

Duration: 36 months

Website: www.x-trust-6g.eu

[XTRUST-6G aims to establish a robust security framework for 6G ecosystems, grounded in the zero-trust principle and prioritizing resilience, privacy, and dependability. At its core, the project will implement dynamic access control through a context-aware, risk-based policy engine that leverages cyber-threat intelligence and behavioral insights from 6G infrastructure.

To mitigate attack risks, the project will focus on micro-segmentation, isolating vulnerable virtualized functions from critical O-RAN assets to prevent lateral movement and minimize potential damage. Advanced AI-driven security measures will be deployed to optimize attack surface reduction and enhance intrusion detection. A next-generation extended detection and response (XDR) solution will be developed, integrating collaborative intrusion detection networks and graph-based threat modeling to enable real-time, adaptive responses to sophisticated multi-stage attacks.
