AI-Powered Cybersecurity Tools for Automated Threat Detection and Software Repair

digitalPilotedTRL 6

Imagine having a digital security guard that not only spots intruders but also automatically fixes the broken locks they used to get in. It uses smart AI to read security reports and learn how hackers behave before they even strike. This helps critical systems stay running even when under a sophisticated attack.

The business problem

What needed solving

Cybersecurity teams are overwhelmed by complex, AI-powered attacks and the tedious task of manually finding and fixing code vulnerabilities. Existing tools often lack the speed and automation needed to protect critical infrastructure in real-time.

The solution

What was built

A suite of AI tools including AI4FIX for automated code correction, AI4VULN for vulnerability identification, AI4SIM for attack simulation, and AI4CTI for threat intelligence extraction using LLMs.

Who can put this to work

Energy
enterprise
Target: Power Grid Operator

If you are a power grid operator dealing with AI-powered attacks on infrastructure — this project developed a system that detects and mitigates these threats to ensure electricity keeps flowing. It uses AI to increase resilience in critical energy sectors.

Finance
enterprise
Target: Digital Banking Provider

If you are a banking provider dealing with vulnerabilities in your mobile apps — this project developed AI4FIX and AI4VULN that automatically identify and fix flaws in the source code. This ensures banking applications can autonomously adapt to face AI-powered attacks.

Healthcare
mid-size
Target: Hospital Network

If you are a hospital network dealing with cyber-physical attacks on medical devices — this project developed a resilience ecosystem that protects critical hospital services. It helps operators manage dynamic responses to advanced threats.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing for these tools?

Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial cost models are mentioned; the project was funded by an EU contribution of EUR 3,998,413.

Can this be scaled to a full industrial environment?

Yes, the project was validated in three large-scale scenarios: the energy sector, banking applications, and hospital services.

Who owns the IP and how is licensing handled?

Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involved 12 industry partners, including 8 SMEs.

How does this integrate with existing security workflows?

The system includes response automation services to optimize the orchestration of security protections and leverages Large Language Models to extract knowledge from open security advisories.

Does this comply with EU regulations?

Yes, the project specifically adhered to EU policy, legal, and ethical requirements for AI, focusing on explainability and fairness.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 12 out of 15 partners coming from the commercial sector (80% industry ratio). The presence of 8 SMEs suggests the technology is designed for commercial viability and agility, rather than just academic research, with a geographical spread across 7 EU countries.
