enterpriseTarget: Grid and Wind Farm Operators
If you are a grid operator dealing with fragmented SCADA systems — this project developed a SOAPA toolset that provides better awareness of asset dependencies to prevent outages.
ResilMesh · Project
AI-Powered Cyber Defense Platform for Complex Industrial and Digital Infrastructures
digitalPilotedTRL 6
Imagine trying to protect a giant city where the buildings are constantly changing and the maps are outdated. This project builds a smart security system that automatically maps out how everything is connected and spots intruders before they do damage. It acts like a high-tech alarm system that learns the layout of your network on the fly to stop sophisticated hackers.

The business problem
What needed solving
Security teams cannot keep up with the complexity of modern, dispersed digital networks. This makes it nearly impossible to detect sophisticated attacks or understand how a failure in one area affects the rest of the system.
The solution
What was built
A Security Orchestration and Analytics Platform Architecture (SOAPA) toolset. This includes AI algorithms for attack prediction and a situation assessment system for risk forecasting.
