Description of the project

The project is about a feasibility study in cybersecurity and digital infrastructure, and more specifically on:

  • The role of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in achieving higher resilience of critical infrastructures.
  • The new vulnerabilities introduced by CPS when extensively employed in critical infrastructures operation and surveillance, and how to ensure a higher CPS security.

 

This feasibility study is planned for 8 months with the following activities:

  • Search and reach potential partners.
  • Propose and attend 4-8 meetings with partners.
  • Take 1-2 consultancy meetings with international experts.
  • Attend 1-2 international seminars/workshops/conference participation.
  • Attend related seminars/conferences on cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection, which are recommended by MSB.

 

The primary purpose of the project is to:

  • Develop and evaluate a feasibility study on CPS-based resilience for CIP (critical infrastructure protection).
  • Reach international partners and national partners to set up a consortium for an EU application.
  • Develop and validate research ideas for a potential EU application.
  • Attend EU level and international level seminars, workshops and conferences in the domain and discuss the ideas with available international experts, and update the research ideas.
  • Meeting with industrial partners (both in EU and Sweden) and formulate the research to adapt to industry needs.

 

Project objectives is to:

  • Find sufficient partners, both international and national partners, mixed with industrial and academic partners.
  • Formulated ideas after the consultation with new found partners.
  • Establish a strong consortium and decide the topic for applying an EU project.
  • Extend our research/academic network in the domain of cybersecurity for critical infrastructure protection.

 

This research relates to the following sustainable development goals
