Imagine a city's power and water systems as a giant web where one broken string can make everything collapse. When a pandemic hits, people get sick and systems fail all at once, making the web fragile. This work creates a digital safety net and a playbook to keep these essential services running even when staff are missing or cyber attacks spike.
Critical infrastructures often fail during pandemics due to sudden workforce shortages, unpredictable demand spikes, and increased cyber-attacks from remote work. There is a lack of coordinated, cross-border strategies to prevent cascading failures across different sectors.
Four TRL7 tools for risk-based access control, resource demand prediction, cyber-physical resilience, and remote inspection, alongside a TRL8 resilience strategy.
If you are a grid operator dealing with sudden workforce drops during a health crisis — this project developed remote infrastructure inspection and resource demand tools that ensure the lights stay on without risking staff health.
If you are a security firm dealing with expanded attack surfaces due to remote work — this project developed cyber-physical resilience tools that detect anomalies when old patterns are no longer valid.
If you are a transport authority dealing with chaotic access control during a pandemic — this project developed risk-based access control tools to manage who enters vital sites safely and efficiently.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or commercial costs for the tools are not provided, as this was an EU-funded research initiative.
Yes, the project aims for a strategy at TRL8 and tools at TRL7, meaning they are designed for operational environments and high readiness for industrial use.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project involves 25 industry partners who likely share in the developed intellectual property.
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-09-30, indicating a multi-year development and piloting cycle.
The tools focus on cyber-physical resilience and remote inspection, designed to plug into the operational environments of critical infrastructure operators.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with 25 industry partners (60% of the total) and 7 SMEs. This high industry ratio, combined with 42 partners across 15 countries, suggests the results are grounded in real-world operational needs rather than purely academic research.
