If you are an EV charging operator dealing with cyber-physical threats to your stations — this project developed a digital twin and autonomous response system that prevents service disruptions and manages cascading risks.
AI-Driven Cyber Resilience and Business Continuity for Critical Infrastructure
Imagine having a digital twin—a perfect virtual copy—of your entire power grid or hospital. This system uses that copy to spot cyber attacks before they cause a blackout or shutdown. It then automatically adjusts the system's defenses to keep essential services running without human intervention.
What needed solving
Critical infrastructure operators struggle to maintain service continuity during cyber-physical attacks because they lack real-time visibility and cannot respond fast enough to prevent cascading failures.
What was built
A suite of 7 components including a multi-aspect digital twin, a risk assessment engine (RISKM4BC), and an automated response orchestrator (SOAR4BC).
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a hospital administrator dealing with the risk of digital attacks freezing patient records or medical devices — this project developed a real-time monitoring and intelligent response tool that ensures business continuity for critical care.
If you are a telco provider dealing with complex interconnected network failures — this project developed a risk-aware information sharing and orchestration tool that automates recovery and maintains connectivity.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing for this solution?
Based on available project data, no specific commercial pricing or cost per license is provided; the project received an EU contribution of EUR 4,999,695 for development.
Is this solution ready for industrial scale?
The system has been validated across 4 use cases including transport, telco, and hospital services, suggesting it is designed for large-scale critical infrastructure.
What are the IP and licensing terms?
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project produced 7 key exploitable results for the framework.
How does it integrate with existing security operations?
It integrates via a security orchestration component (SOAR4BC) and a human-machine interface (AVATAR4BC) to assist security operators.
What is the implementation timeline?
The project period runs from 2022-12-01 to 2025-11-30, with initial prototypes already integrated.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with 9 industry partners (50% ratio) and 4 SMEs. This balance, combined with 7 participating countries, indicates the technology is being developed with direct commercial requirements and cross-border infrastructure standards in mind.
