M T R S 3 SOLUTIONS AND SERVICES LTD

Their core work

MTRS3 is an Israeli technology SME specialising in security and resilience solutions for critical infrastructure. Their work spans resilience management frameworks, cyber-physical threat assessment, and data-driven anomaly detection — translating complex risk concepts into operational tools that end-users can apply. In RESILENS they contributed to resilience audit methodologies and management matrices for infrastructure operators; in SAFETY4RAILS they shifted toward real-time threat detection, forecasting, and mitigation strategies for rail and metro systems. They appear to function as a technology and methods contributor bridging security research and operational deployment.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

From 2015 to 2018, MTRS3 focused on resilience governance — building frameworks, audit tools, and training resources to help critical infrastructure operators measure and improve their resilience posture. By 2020–2022, the focus shifted sharply toward data-driven, real-time security operations: anomaly detection, predictive forecasting, and cyber-physical threat response in transport infrastructure. The trajectory moves from strategic resilience planning toward active threat intelligence and operational security systems.

MTRS3 is moving from resilience methodology and audit tools toward real-time, data-driven cyber-physical security for transport — making them a likely fit for future Horizon Europe projects in railway security, urban mobility protection, or AI-assisted threat detection.

How they like to work

MTRS3 participates exclusively as a consortium partner — they have not coordinated any H2020 project. Despite a small project portfolio, they have engaged with 42 unique partners across 15 countries, indicating they join well-networked, multi-partner consortia rather than small bilateral efforts. This suggests they bring a defined specialist capability that larger consortia seek out, rather than driving project strategy themselves.

MTRS3 has built connections with 42 consortium partners across 15 countries through just two projects — an unusually broad network for such a small portfolio, reflecting participation in large-scale security research consortia. Their partnerships span primarily European institutions, though their Israeli base gives them a non-EU perspective that can be valuable in security projects requiring third-country participation.

What sets them apart

MTRS3 occupies a rare niche as an Israeli SME with demonstrated EU-funded project experience in both resilience governance and operational cyber-physical security — a combination that few small companies can claim. Their dual track record (strategic resilience tools in RESILENS, real-time detection systems in SAFETY4RAILS) positions them as a bridge between policy-oriented resilience frameworks and technical security operations. For consortium builders, their non-EU country status can also fulfil third-country partner requirements in sensitive security projects.

Highlights from their portfolio

• RESILENS
  Their largest project (EUR 422,250) and earliest H2020 engagement, establishing their credentials in European critical infrastructure resilience methodology and audit frameworks.
• SAFETY4RAILS
  Marks a clear strategic evolution into data-driven cyber-physical security for rail and metro systems, including development of the S4RIS information platform for operational end-users.
