Project Overview:
SecReSy4You seeks to strengthen the security and resilience of cyber-physical systems through a sustainable training programme focused on the next generation of cybersecurity experts in the industrial and control field. In this regard, the project aims to create a specialised Doctoral Network composed of 10 Doctoral Candidates (DC) capable of bridging the gap between theory and practice to achieve secure and resilient cyber-physical systems, tackling the problem at its root. This also entails to combine specialised training with extensive experience and capacity to identify and prevent vulnerabilities in legacy systems and establish design requirements for future networked control systems, considering the most novel and prominent technologies, techniques, and conceptual approaches.
To coordinate all these activities, the project brings together experts in control theory and computer science from eight prestigious academic institutions, listed below, as well as key stakeholders from ten potential and well-established industrial partners. Namely:
– Academy: University of Cyprus, TU Dortmund University, University of Malaga, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Uppsala University, Saarland University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and University of Padua.
– Industry: ABB AB, ABB AG, Robert Bosh GmbH, Philips, Siemens AG, S2 Grupo, Eletoyia, INNIO Jenbacher GmbH & Co OG, Tallinna Tehnikaülikool, Delft University of Technology.
In the specific case of NICS Lab (University of Malaga), who is responsible for the main supervision of one of the PhD students, highlights the role of digital twins and artificial intelligence as one of the key technologies for improving situational awareness under strict protection restrictions. The doctoral thesis also includes extended visits to other European entities, under the supervision of renowned experts from the University of Pavoda and S2Grupo, with the aim of acquiring and developing new skills and competencies, which are essential for the future of industrial cybersecurity.
