Description du projet
Un nouvel outil de lutte contre les cyberattaques pour les petites entreprises
Les grandes entreprises ne sont pas les seules à devoir se préparer à la menace de la cybercriminalité. Les PME, qui constituent l’épine dorsale de l’économie européenne, doivent également renforcer leur cybersécurité. La dépendance des PME à l’égard des technologies de l’information et d’Internet a généré des vulnérabilités à la cybercriminalité. Le projet GEIGER, financé par l’UE, élaborera une solution innovante pour les PME et les microentreprises en Europe. Cela permettra ainsi aux plus petites entreprises de facilement évaluer, surveiller et prévoir les risques pour les atténuer. Par exemple, une boîte à outils spéciale permettra une évaluation par étapes et une amélioration de la sécurité, de la confidentialité et de la protection des données avec des contrôles légers et des conseils pour une protection globale améliorée.
Objectif
Our proposed GEIGER will be an innovative solution with associated components and an Education Ecosystem addressing security, privacy and data protection risks of and for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Microenterprises (SMEs&MEs) in Europe. GEIGER will be developed in analogy of a GEIGER counter for detecting atomic radiation threatening human life. The GEIGER solution will be used for assessing, monitoring, and forecasting risks and reducing these risks by improving the SMEs’&MEs’ security with well-curated tools, and an education program targeting practitioners-in-practice as “Certified Security Defenders” bringing security expertise sustainably to SMEs&MEs using existing vocational education frameworks. GEIGER consist of a GEIGER Indicator that dynamically summarizes the current level of risk by evaluating measures undertaken for security defences among the participating SMEs&MEs. The GEIGER Indicator can be personalised by registering the enterprise’s profile and supports GDPR-compliant sharing and exchanging data about incidents. The GEIGER Toolbox allows stepwise do-it-yourself assessment and improvement of the SMEs’&MEs’ security, privacy, and data protection with lightweight controls and advice for improved protection at varied levels of sophistication. The included tools offer endpoint, server, and network protection and guide the SME&ME in a personalised manner in data hygiene, including access and security control, data privacy management, and backup practices. The GEIGER Education Ecosystem offers experimental-based training and cyber range-enabled challenges and will be integrated into curricula of diverse professions of non-ICT experts, offering direct impact on SMEs&MEs through target group-oriented education. The GEIGER solution will be demonstrated in three complementary use cases within three countries. GEIGER will achieve sustainable impact by raising awareness of more than one million SMEs&MEs within a period of 2.5 years after start.
