Description and objectives:

Industry 4.0 requires an extreme level of trust in all data sources, which hinders and often prevents the automation and digitisation of processes and tasks. The lack of confidentiality, security and sovereignty over the data exchanged is slowing down many relationships and data exchange in those situations where there is no regulatory environment that obliges the exchange of certain data, meaning that only large players, with the capacity to force the sharing of information, can benefit from its exploitation. This combination of factors brings with it the need to consider the importance of the cybersecurity of the industrial processes involved in order to guarantee the proper operation of the systems, especially in critical sectors, as well as to maintain the confidentiality of the data and information with which they operate. It is therefore necessary to address solutions that overcome the limitations in terms of data sharing and generate spaces for collaboration within the European cybersecurity domain.

The main objective of the project is to provide the industrial sector with a collaborative digital space that enables companies to deploy cyber defence mechanisms in industrial company ecosystems, through the collaborative sharing and exploitation of data and procedures for prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation. NCIS aims to carry out advanced research in technological areas that involve disruptive developments in the following two main areas: data confidentiality and the sharing of security strategies in new connected industrial environments, thus contributing to the full development of Industry 4.0 in secure, sustainable and connected environments.
