Securing smart BUilding by enhancing OT networks and SCADA system with software actuators, REsilmesh mitigation, orchestration and enforcement
Modern smart buildings are increasingly interconnected, and their operational technology (OT) and supervisory control systems (SCADA) networks are vulnerable to ever-evolving cyberthreats. SEBURE addresses this challenge by demonstrating the effectiveness of Resilmesh mitigation, orchestration, and enforcement operations within the OT domain. ODINS will implement the SEBURE subproject focused on enhancing the cybersecurity framework of smart buildings managed by a SCADA system through innovative extensions to the Resilmesh security control plane. A key innovation within SEBURE is the development of novel software actuators specifically designed to apply cybersecurity actions to SCADA systems and the OT network. These actuators will dynamically respond to identified threats, enhancing system defenses in real time. The project will also introduce mitigation playbooks designed to handle emerging attack types. These playbooks, supported by a new attack detection dataset, will optimize incident response strategies, ensuring that both known and unknown threats are effectively addressed. Through its innovative solutions, SEBURE aims to produce two groundbreaking outcomes to safeguard critical infrastructure, ensuring that smart buildings remain secure in the face of an evolving threat landscape.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under Grant Agreement 101119681 in Resilmesh opencall, HORIZON-CL3-2022-CS-01-01.
