Geiger Cybersecurity Counter

Descrizione del progetto

Nuovo strumento per le piccole imprese per combattere gli attacchi informatici

Non sono solo le grandi aziende che devono prepararsi alla minaccia dei reati informatici. Anche le PMI, che costituiscono la spina dorsale dell’economia europea, devono rafforzare la loro sicurezza informatica. La dipendenza delle PMI dalle tecnologie dell’informazione e da Internet ha aperto le porte alle vulnerabilità al reato informatico. Il progetto GEIGER, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà una soluzione innovativa per le PMI e le microimprese in Europa. Agevolerà anche le aziende più piccole a valutare, monitorare e prevedere gli eventuali rischi e quindi a ridurli. Ad esempio, una speciale toolbox consentirà una graduale valutazione e miglioramento della sicurezza fai-da-te, della privacy e della protezione dei dati con controlli leggeri e consigli per una protezione globale migliorata.

Obiettivo

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.
