The impact of 5G 5G, the fifth generation of mobile networks, is now a commercial reality and it is considered a key technology for society in terms of economic and social prosperity and new business procedures. Besides the obvious benefits and merits of 5G, cybersecurity related concerns are emerging as...

In 2021 there are 13.8 billion interconnected IoT devices, with an upward trend. IoT devices collect data on the surrounding environment, including sensitive and private information (e.g., wearable IoT devices). As a result, users are experiencing a loss of control over how their data is distributed and processed. Even worse,...

Nowadays, we are trying to protect the users from online threats and attacks, keeping in mind that generally, users have no cybersecurity skills or knowledge. The idea here is to improve that baseline by having future users with basic or even advanced cybersecurity skills. How to do that? Educate the...

They always say time changes things, but in the case of threat intelligence sharing it actually does CONCORDIA consortium of more than 50 partners, whose purpose is to lead the boosting Europe’s cybersecurity future, often regards itself as an “ecosystem”. In the context of CONCORDIA we define ecosystem as “a...

Years before the pandemic, the healthcare industry had already been busily digitally transforming itself. Yet, the pandemic did pull years of demand for telehealth and remote work forward into 2020.

In previous blogs CONCORDIA partners have been reporting on the various Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) aspects that the working groups have been researching [1], [2], [3]. In this blog, we focus on another CTI aspect called Cyber Threat Modelling (CTM). Often when talking about CTI, Indicators of Compromise (IoC) are...

Industrial control systems (ICSs) combine distributed computing with physical process monitoring and control. They are comprised of elements providing feedback from the physical world (sensors) and elements influencing it (actuators), as well as computers and controller networks, which process the feedback data and issue commands to the actuators. Many ICSs...
