PRAETORIAN – Protection of Critical Infrastructures from advanced combined cyber and physical threats

praetorian-h2020.eu

PROGRAMME: EU H2020

ABSTRACT:

The increased physical and cyberattacks against EU critical infrastructures (CIs) require advanced security and protection systems. PRAETORIAN delivers a multidimensional installation-specific toolset comprising a physical situation awareness system, a cyber situation awareness system, a hybrid situation awareness system (including digital twins), and a coordinated response system including a decision support system. The toolset assist CIs’ security managers in their decision-making to prevent and resist potential cyber, physical or combined security threats to their own CIs and other interrelated infrastructures.

PRAETORIAN has a budget of 9,04 M€ (co-funded by the EU under the H2020 programme). It has a duration of 28 months and the consortium working on it is formed by 23 partners, under the technical coordination of ETRA I+D. The project deals with human-made cyber and physical attacks and emonstrate its results in four pilot scenarios, involving two international airports, two ports, three hospitals and two power plants.
