From May 1st 2016, Bitdefender is participating in a Horizon2020 project called CIPSEC (Enhancing Critical Infrastructure Protection with innovative SECurity framework) as partner, within a consortium led by Atos Spain. The project will be implemented during 36 months and has a value of 5.613.788,–.

CIPSEC

The main aim of CIPSEC is to create a unified security framework that orchestrates state-of-the-art heterogeneous security products to offer high levels of protection in IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology) departments of CIs. As part of this framework CIPSEC will offer a complete security ecosystem of additional services that can support the proposed technical solutions to work reliably and at professional quality. These services include vulnerability tests and recommendations, key personnel training courses, public-private partnerships (PPPs) forensics analysis, standardization and protection against cascading effects. All solutions and services will be validated in three pilots performed in three different CI environments (transportation, health, and environment). CIPSEC will also develop a marketing strategy for optimal positioning of its solutions in the CI security market.
