PRECINCT
PRECINCT brought together public and private CI stakeholders to implement a common cyber-physical security framework that protected citizens and infrastructure.
Preparedness and Resilience Enforcement for Critical Infrastructure Cascading Cyberphysical Threats and Effects With Focus on District or Regional Protection
EU Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are increasingly at risk from cyber-physical attacks and natural hazards.
Research and emerging solutions focus on the protection of individual CIs, however, the interrelationships between CIs has become more complex, for example in smart cities and managing the impacts of cascading effects and enabling rapid recovery is becoming more pertinent and highly challenging.
PRECINCT aimed to connect private and public CI stakeholders in a geographical area to a common cyber-physical security management approach which yield a protected territory for citizens and infrastructures.
The PRECINCT Ecosystem Platform has connected stakeholders of interdependent CIs and Emergency Services to collaboratively manage security and resilience exploiting Digital Twins, Serious Games and AI technologies.
The objective was to improve CI protection for specific installations from vulnerabilities arising from interdependencies and cascading effects.
The validation scenarios, based in four large scale Living Labs and three transferability demonstrators, resulted in ready-to-use tools by the end of the project.
Increased automation and accuracy in security and resilience management reduced costs and increased efficiency for CI management.
The main societal benefits include enhanced overall physical security and safety levels, as well as data protection for personal and organisational information.
