AI-Powered Cyber Defense and Recovery System for Critical Infrastructure

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine a smart security guard for a city's power grid that doesn't just watch for intruders but predicts where they will strike next. It uses AI to automatically shut down the right doors and restart essential services so the lights stay on. It also lets different emergency teams share warnings instantly so everyone is ready before the attack hits.

The business problem

What needed solving

Critical infrastructure operators struggle to respond to cyber attacks quickly enough to prevent service outages. They lack the tools to predict attacks and automate the recovery of essential business functions.

The solution

What was built

An AI-assisted security system featuring automated threat hunting, attack prediction tools, and a cyber training range for staff.

Who can put this to work

Energy
enterprise
Target: Electricity Grid Operator

If you are an electricity grid operator dealing with unpredictable cyber attacks on power distribution — this project developed AI-assisted prediction and response tools that prioritize recovery based on business risk impact.

Healthcare
enterprise
Target: Hospital Network Provider

If you are a hospital network provider dealing with ransomware that freezes patient records — this project developed automation and orchestration mechanisms that ensure business continuity and faster recovery of critical health services.

Transport
mid-size
Target: Railway Logistics Company

If you are a railway logistics company dealing with supply chain disruptions from cyber incidents — this project developed a Resilience Cyber Range and serious games to train staff and test response plans before a real crisis occurs.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing for this solution?

Based on available project data, no specific commercial pricing or cost models are provided as this is an EU-funded research project.

Can this be scaled to a full industrial level?

Yes, the project is designed for Operators of Essential Services (OES) and is being validated across three major sectors: Energy, Transport, and Health.

What are the IP and licensing terms?

The project aims to create an open and sustainable solution to maximize the uptake of its results, though specific license types are not listed.

How does it integrate with existing security tools?

It uses REST API-based architecture and integrates Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and User & Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) to provide situational awareness.

When will the final version be available?

The project period runs from 2022-07-01 to 2025-06-30, suggesting the final validated results will be ready by mid-2025.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-driven with 10 industrial partners (including 6 SMEs), representing a 59% industry ratio. This strong commercial presence, combined with 3 universities and 4 other entities across 6 countries, indicates the project is focused on practical application rather than pure theory.
