MIRANDA designs, develops, deploys, and validates a framework for collaborative cyber-security operations over service supply chains.
MIRANDA conceives the concept of Cybersecurity Digital Twin as the abstraction to make hypothesis, perform analysis, and draw predictions of what could happen in complex, heterogeneous, and interconnected ICT systems in a proactive yet not invasive way.
MIRANDA leverages modelling/prediction capabilities to improve monitoring, detection, analysis, investigation, and response processes.
An adaptive digital twin for agile services over the computing continuum
MIRANDA develops a Cybersecurity Digital Twin (CDT) to model and capture the security posture of interconnected multi-ownership systems, which is used to detect, hunt, and remediate threats and attacks. On top of the CDT abstraction, MIRANDA builds adaptive and automated processes for threat hunting, detection of lateral movements, and eradication of the root causes of attacks.
Multi-ownership digital service chains
While modern digital services often build upon third party’s components, many providers are often not aware of what is behind their upstream suppliers’ resources. Dynamic service composition paradigms makes the service mesh unpredictable and ever changing at run-time.
A new breed of Digital Twins
MIRANDA’s Cybersecurity Digital Twin is not a plain model of digital assets. It is a combined model of the current execution environment and attacks, which provides pervasive visibility, proactive identification of vulnerabilities and attacks, and adaptivity to ever-evolving environments. These three features will improve existing monitoring, detection, response, and hunting processes.
Use Cases
#WolfsburgDigital
The City of Wolfsburg has been working since 2016 to expand its digital infrastructure, targeting the creation of new and user-oriented digital services.The core of #WolfsburgDigital is a service-oriented ecosystem for collection, processing, and sharing of large bulks of data around the City. The set of digital services implemented over #WolfsburgDigital includes intelligent traffic lights, urban planning and mobility, smart parking, electrical charging, bring-your-own-device, open data for businesses and citizens.
Inclusive Genoa
The City of Genoa is currently pursuing a user-centric urban paradigm to improve the life of its citizens. As part of this strategy, a smart ecosystem is being implemented that delivers adaptive city services to different citizens’ abilities, so to promote inclusive engagement. The core of this ecosystem is a Urban Intelligence platform that mixes Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and City Science. On top of it, adaptive services are built, that tailor input interfaces, content and its representation to different generations and abilities of citizens.
Safe Athens
In the recent years the City of Athens has planned a digital transformation, and the progress on this objective is ongoing. The strategic plan envisions the development of innovative services for both the administration and the citizens, such as e-Services, public safety, and access to municipal assets. The implementation is not limited to in-house developments, but the City is already expanding an ecosystem of providers.
