R&I Project Hub

Manufacturers of automated systems and their components have been allocating an enormous amount of time and effort in R&D activities. This effort translates into an overhead on the V&V (verification and validation) process making it time-consuming and costly. The ECSEL JU project VALU3S aims to evaluate the state-of-the-art V&V methods and tools, and design a multi-domain framework to create a clear structure around the components and elements needed to conduct the V&V process.

FINSEC is an example of integration between Physical + Cyber security fully dedicated to the critical infrastructures in the financial sector. The main results of the FINSEC project are:

• Standard based reference architecture
• Predictive security
• Collaborative security
• Security toolbox and certification services

Over the past years, the cyber threat landscape has greatly evolved. Organizations are faced with a
challenging task of preventing attacks and have fast and effective detection and response mechanisms
if attacks cannot be prevented. In addition, it is commonly reported that the time to compromise is
typically very short (i.e. seconds to minutes), while the discovery time is more likely to be weeks or
months. In addition, the time from detection to containment of the attack may again take weeks.
