The overall objective of the project is to explore all different cybersecurity dimensions of multimodal transport. These dimensions will drive a characterization of the cyber-threats in the ICT multimodal transport, extended to the close-by power and financial sector. Innovative software tools will be introduced to estimate the cyber-threats propagation in the system. CitySCAPE will introduce innovative risk analysis techniques and orchestrates a number of software solutions to realize an interoperable toolkit that seamlessly integrates to any multimodal transport system.
The specific objectives of the project are as follows:
- detect suspicious traffic-data values and identify persistent cyber-threats;
- evaluate a cyber-attack’s impact in both technical and financial terms;
- combine external knowledge and internally-observed activities to enhance the predictability of zero-day cyber-attacks;
- instantiate a networked overlay to circulate informative notifications to CERT/CSIRT and support their interplay.
The proposed solution will be validated in two regional-level pilots (in Tallinn, Estonia and Genoa, Italy) over a timely set of use-cases carefully selected by the end-users (i.e., transport operators). The CitySCAPE capability of collaborative threat investigation will immediately strengthen the CERTs/CSIRTs link to the transportation stakeholders while the CitySCAPE dedicated security assurance framework will gradually reinforce trust links between transport actors:
- The Tallinn Pilot is focusing on future technology implementation for the city’s public transportation system as cyber-security exercise and test case for the near future technology which will be available soon in EU;
- The Genoa Pilot aims at identifying and tackling the most critical cybersecurity threats that can be realized on data exchange in the multi-modal transport system of the city: buses, subway network, trolley buses, elevators, funicular railways, cog railway, narrow-gauge railway, urban ferry-boats and on-call services.
The activities of the project are the following:
WP1: Project Management & Consortium Coordination;
WP2: Use-cases and Vulnerabilities modelling;
