Impact

Prevention is cheaper than a breach

Expected Outcome 1

Preparedness Support Services

  • Integration of real-time Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) feeds into cyber exercises and vulnerability assessments that accurately address the latest changes in the threat landscape. The use of CTI will also support the creation of more advanced penetration testing exercises, ensuring that organisations are tested against up-to-date attack techniques that could target and affect their own critical infrastructure.
  • Provide mitigation recommendations tailored to the cybersecurity needs of different sectors. These recommendations will focus on supporting the end users at improving infrastructure security and provide them with the necessary means to enhance incident response capabilities and implement best practices for enhancing the cybersecurity preparedness of critical infrastructures across Europe.

Expected Outcome 2

Threat and Risk Assessment Services

  • Offer robust threat assessment and risk assessment modules to help organisations identify, evaluate, and mitigate cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats.
  • Facilitate the continuous assessment of risks that can affect various critical infrastructure sectors by leveraging AI-driven automation and advanced analytics.
  • The solution will integrate timely CTI feeds and AI-enhanced tools to provide a dynamic environment where organisations can simulate emerging threats to develop their defensive mechanisms.
  • Provide mitigation recommendations to help organisations understand and enhance their cybersecurity risk assessment processes.
  • Improve the accuracy of risk analysis and assessment to foster prioritisation.

Expected Outcome 3

Risk Monitoring Services

  • Deploy continuous risk monitoring services that provide an assessment of cyber risks and vulnerabilities across critical infrastructures.
  • Implementation of AI-enhanced vulnerability assessment tools that will automate the identification and prioritisation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, ensuring that the most critical threats are addressed promptly.
  • Provide organisations with advanced analytics and visualisation tools to support cybersecurity decision-making.

In addition to the technical and economic impact, CIRCAT project aims to play a key role in enhancing Europe’s cybersecurity preparedness while delivering long-term economic and societal benefits.
