D2.5 Platform Design, Final Version

This deliverable is the final output of Task T2.2, entitled “Overall Vision and Design”. It reports the work done during the whole task timeline (M3-M12, November 2018 – August 2019). Although it builds on top of deliverable D2.3, it is a self-contained document and the reader does not need to refer to D2.3 at any point. The design of the CYBERWISER.eu Platform consists of an architecture based on a set of components working together to provide a cyber range platform. The interfaces between the different components are described, remarking which components provide or consume them.

The WISER project at a glance

This presentation was held by Antonio Alvarez Romero (ATOS) during the 1st CIPSEC Workshop in Vilanova i La Geltrú (Spain) on 14 June 2017.
The presentation gives an overview of the WISER project and shows how the CyberWISER Light, CyberWISER Essential and CyberWISER Plus are different from the other cybersecurity services present in the market today.


WISER: Helping EU firms get smart about cyber security

The presentation focus on cyber risk management from a business point of view by considering all the business implications of a breach, from business interruption to reputational damage.


Cyber security - Ensuring business is ready for the 21st century

The IoD report, "Cyber security: Ensuring business is ready for the 21st century" supported by Barclays, shows that despite a number of high-profile cyber-attacks over the last year, more than a third (37%) of IoD members lead or work in organisations without a formal cyber security strategy, and worse still, in the event cybercrime was to hit their business, 40% would not know who to report it to.


Gaps in NIS standardisation

The aim of the study is to provide a mapping of the technical requirements of the NIS Directive to existing standards, to identify gaps and overlaps in related standardisation and provide recommendations for the future work in this area.

The report identifies a relatively small number of gaps and areas of overlap in standardisation where there is no clear best practice to be adopted partly due to the diversity of the current standardisation ecosystem. This allows for several recommendations:


Cyber threat to UK business - NCSC & NSA report

In their first joint report, the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), say that cyber crime is becoming more aggressive.

The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices gives attackers more opportunity. Consumer goods and industrial systems combined with the ever increasing commercial footprint online provides threat actors with more attack vectors than ever before.


Cisco Report Reveals Business Impact of Cyber Security

According to the CISCO 2017 Annual Cybersecurity Report, over 20% of organizations hit by data breaches last year experienced lost revenue, customers, missed or lost business opportunities.

The report revealed the potential financial impact of attacks on businesses, from enterprises to SMBs.
