Example
WIDGET will bring impact to dynamic countering of cyber-attacks. By using artificial intelligence it is possible to do detect emerging cyber attacks reducing response time and increase resilience of the ICT systems.
Project aim is to increase their ability to recover from a potential cyber threat and reduce recovery time by 50%. Furthermore, the WIDGET will enable better econometric models to identify the actual impact of a cyber attack to manufacturing floor.
The technology enables improved co-operation of the CSIRT Network across the EU, which is one of the key targets of the NIS Directive.
WIDGET will be designed to provide CSIRTs an API interface so that WIDGET data can offer immediate incident information to CSIRT network and alert CSIRTS to ongoing malicious activities. WIDGET integrated with European CSIRT network, this increased collaboration can have a 1 B€ annual impact as demonstrated by the market example of …
