CyberSecDome is an EU-funded project aimed at revolutionizing cybersecurity by combining AI and virtual reality (VR). The project introduces an advanced VR-based intrusion detection, incident investigation and response system to protect heterogeneous digital infrastructure. CyberSecDome brings together 15 partners from 10 countries and focuses on enhancing situational awareness, fostering collaboration and safeguarding digital environments with cutting-edge tools and privacy-aware information sharing.

The project’s main objectives are as follows:

• Enhance digital infrastructure resilience: Improve the ability of digital systems to withstand and recover from cyber-attacks by using advanced technologies for better awareness and response.

• Provide dynamic incident response: Develop a system that automatically chooses and applies the best actions to address cyber threats, reducing response time and damage.

• Support coordinated response across Europe: Create a platform for sharing important threat information and strategies securely, enabling collaboration among different organizations.

• Proactive cybersecurity management: Build tools that continuously monitor and analyze potential risks to prevent and address threats before they escalate.

• Improve collaboration between humans and security systems: Create user-friendly interfaces that allow people to work seamlessly with security systems, improving understanding and decision-making.

• Automate security testing: Develop a system that regularly tests digital infrastructure for weaknesses, ensuring better protection against potential attacks.

• Test and deploy security solutions: Run real-world trials to validate and refine security tools, with the goal of making them ready for widespread use.

ITML’s role in the project

ITML leads the specifications and development of AI-empowered security tools, overseeing the development of AI-based tools to enhance cybersecurity over digital infrastructures. ITML also leads the creation of algorithms and methodologies for the adaptive control of federated AI training models. Additionally to its role as a key Tech Provider, ITML leads all project’s dissemination and communication efforts, targeting scientific communities, European user groups and other stakeholders.
