JCOP (Joint Cybersecurity Operations Platform) focuses on designing,
developing, and delivering a Joint Cybersecurity Operations Platform
tailored to the needs of EU member state authorities entrusted
with cybersecurity and according to the guidelines provided in the
EU Blueprint for coordinated response to large-scale cross-border
cybersecurity incidents and crises - Recommendation C(2017)6100.
JCOP is being deployed and validated through the creation of a Southeast
Europe Coordinated Response Cluster including the national security
authorities of Greece and Cyprus. This will demonstrate the capacity-
and coordination-building impact of JCOP at the national and the EU level
(CSIRT Network). In addition, the Norwegian National Security Authority -
NSM will contribute to the validation of JCOP's applicability. JCOP will
be aligned with pertinent EU platforms and initiatives, such as the
MeliCERTes platform, the Empowering EU ISACs project for information
sharing between operators of essential services (OES), and the four
pilots of the EU Cybersecurity Competence Network.
This project has received funding from the European Health and
Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) of the European Commission under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program.
Agreement No.: INEA/CEF/ICT/A2020/2373266.
CyberSecPro Project
(Collaborative, Multi-modal and Agile Professional Cybersecurity Training Program)
for A Skilled Workforce In the European Digital Single Market
and Industries CyberSecPro promotes a conceptual disruptive approach
with regards to existing approaches to training solutions. The project
contributes to the broader need for cybersecurity marketing skills and
technical/practical capabilities. CyberSecPro aims to upskill and develop
a workforce capable of overcoming the increasing security challenges
that will burden innovation and excellence. This overarching goal can be
achieved with the methodology adopted in the CyberSecPro project. Further,
the project utilises the processes developed within many EU Cybersecurity
pilot projects and adppts relevant EU innovation and development work:
CyberSecPro will drive the HEIs to further enhance their cooperation
with the private sector, in order to become the main suppliers of the
necessary market-oriented cybersecurity skills and working-life practices
required in the digital transformation, via providing hands-on trainings.
This project has received funding from the European Commission,
Agreement No.: 101083594
SmartShip aims to bring together Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) of focused Universities, Research Institutions
and Companies oriented into the maritime sector in order to build
a holistic integrated ICT-based framework for the sustainable,
individualized and completely automated energy management of ships.
SmartShip is funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 project under Grant Agreement No. 823916.
Project duration: 48 months started January 01, 2019.
THREAT-ARREST project aims to develop an advanced training platform
incorporating emulation, simulation, serious gaming and visualization
capabilities to adequately prepare stakeholders with different types
of responsibility and levels of expertise in defending high-risk
cyber systems and organizations to counter advanced, known and new
cyber-attacks.
THREAT-ARREST is funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 project under Grant Agreement No. 786890.
Project duration: 36 months started September 01, 2018.
CONCORDIA (stands for Cyber security cOmpeteNCe fOr Research
anD InnovAtion) aims to build the European Secure, Resilient and
Trusted Ecosystem. The vision of CONCORDIA is to build a community
with a strong cooperation between all stakeholders, understanding
that all stakeholders have their KPIs, bridging among them and
fostering the development of IT products and solutions along the
whole supply chain. Technologically, it projects a broad and evolvable
data-driven and cognitive E2E Security approach for the ever-complex
ever-interconnected compositions of emergent data-driven cloud,
IoT and edge-assisted ICT ecosystems.
CONCORDIA is funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 project under Grant Agreement No. 830927.
Project duration: 48 months started December 01, 2018.
Controlling Concurrent Change: Security and Integrity Project:
The Research Unit ``Controlling
Concurrent Change (CCC)''
examines the challenges the independent software updates will face due
to an increasingly openly interconnected future, and how these challenges
can be met. The Research Unit
will therefore look for ways of how to control the variety of updates
of different software applications without side effects, and how to make
computer platforms more robust to ensure proper functioning of different
software subsystems.
Within the overall framework of CCC, the Security and Integrity Project
looks at flexible security policy enforcement mechanisms that can ensure
that misbehaving components cannot interfere adversely with the overall
system of the execution of other components.
CCC is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
(German Research Foundation) for 6 years (after the initial 3 year period, the project
was awarded a second 3 year period).
(Duration April 2013 - March 2019).
SHARCS: Secure Hardware-Software Architectures for Robust Computing Systems:
This project is funded under the EU H2020-ICT-2014-1 call. SHARCS
is a framework for designing, building and demonstrating
secure-by-design applications and services, that achieve end-to-end
security for their users. SHARCS will achieve this by systematically
analyzing and extending, as necessary, the hardware and software layers
in a computing system.
(Duration April 2015 - March 2018, amount: € 3,105,763)
ForToo (Forensics Tools Against Illegal Use of the Internet):
The project, which is funded by the European Union DG for Home
Affairs, aims to develop digital forensics tools that will identify,
analyze and visualize illegal activities on the Internet. The
objectives of this project are: (a) to design and prototype a toolkit
that will detect illegal activities both proactively and after-the-fact,
(b) to identify the source and perpetrators of the illegal activities,
both in terms of virtual/network and, as much as possible, physical
location, (c) to profile the expertise and motive of the attackers,
(d) to present the relevant information in a way that will be usable
by investigating authorities, and (e) to maximize the impact of the
project through aggressive and effective dissemination of the
project's results.
(Duration June 2011 - May 2014, amount: € 750,000)
NSF/CAREER:
Home Area Network Gateway Architecture - I was PI for
this NSF project whose key objective was to investigate technologies and
methodologies with which the home network can be protected, and enrich the
computer science curriculum with security-focused experimental computer
science material.
(Duration July 2002 - June 2008, amount $ 367,393).
CHATS/CoSAK (DARPA) - I was CoPI in the
Code Security Analysis Kit
project whose objective was to provide the open source developers with tools
to allow them to produce code that is more robust and secure. This was achieved
via the CoSAK framework for code analysis and constraint enforcement. CoSAK
may be used to protect systems from code that strays outside its operational limits.
(Duration July 2001 - Oct. 2003, amount $ 622,873).
