The overall objective of the project:

SECANT recognizes the needs of the European organizations and puts the sensitive data protection at the center-stage of the efforts towards enhancing the cybersecurity and privacy provisions of the industrial ecosystem. In particular, SECANT envisages delivering a holistic framework for cyber security risk assessment for enhancing the digital security, privacy, and personal data protection in complex ICT infrastructures by employing beyond the state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies. The SECANT platform will enhance the capabilities of organisations’ stakeholders, implementing (a) collaborative threat intelligence collection, analysis and sharing; (b) innovative risk analysis specifically designed for interconnected nodes of an industrial ecosystem; (c) cutting-edge trust and accountability mechanisms for data protection and (d) security awareness, training for more informed security choices.

The proposed solution’s effectiveness and versatility will be validated in four realistic pilot use case scenarios applied in the healthcare ecosystem. Ultimately, SECANT will contribute decisively towards improving the readiness and resilience of the organisations’ against the crippling modern cyber-threats, increasing the privacy, data protection and accountability across the entire interconnected ICT ecosystem, and reducing the costs for security training in the European market.

SECANT rests on four major pillars:
• Digital Security and Privacy (for both the underlying complex ICT infrastructure and the human actors);
• Data Protection and Accountability (based on the latest Distributed Ledger Technology – DLT);
• Collaborative Threat Intelligence (for collecting, sharing and reporting security incidents);
• Cyber Security Awareness Training (for both technical and non-technical users).
At its core, SECANT is a proof-of-concept platform enabling industrial participants to make informed and context-aware decisions regarding cybersecurity, privacy and data protection risks. The strength of the platform is that it allows not only for technologically protecting connected organizations, but also empowering their users in better protecting themselves (i.e.professionals, users, etc.).

The specific objectives of the project are as follows:
• to identify the user, technical and business requirements and design the architecture of a dynamic and highly flexible risk assessment platform for organizations;
• to design and implement a dynamic, evidence-based, sophisticated security and privacy risk assessment framework that can deal with the cascading effects of cyber-attacks and with propagated vulnerabilities in interconnected complex ICT systems, services, and applications;
• to design and implement a collaborative toolkit that allows the organization stakeholders and European CERTs/CSIRTs create and exchange dynamic vulnerability databases, as well as taxonomies for cyber-attacks targeting ICT systems, technologies, applications and services;
• to design and implement a tailored data protection and multi-level accountability framework, relying on a distributed ledger system, that can establish trust, integrity and protect sensitive data;
• to design and develop user interfacing applications and security training platforms with cyber range capabilities that can enable all stakeholders of the organizations’ ecosystem to make smarter security decisions with training and simulated social engineering;
• to demonstrate and validate the integrated SECANT Platform across four realistic pilot demonstrators;
• to ensure wide communication and scientific dissemination of the SECANT results to the research, academic, and professional community, efficient exploitation and business planning of the SECANT concepts and solutions to the market, and contribution of specific project results to relevant standardization bodies.
