Project Overview

INTERSECTION Project aims to enhance the European potential in the field of security by assuring the protection of heterogeneous networks and infrastructures. Project activities started January 1st 2008 and will be completed in 24 months.

INTERSECTION is designing and implementing an integrated security framework made of different subsystems and components providing network and infrastructure security.

A working prototype is going to be implemented to be used as final demonstrator of specific scenarios.

Involved end users are sharing information on attacks and malfunctions, validate obtained results and host the demonstrator, thus enhancing the effectiveness of such multidisciplinary consortium.

INTERSECTION is also contributing to standardisation process in order to foster multi-operator interoperability and coordinated strategies for securing networked systems. Security metrics for assessment and certification of network infrastructures and systems are going to be defined.

Work Package
In order to achieve its objectives, INTERSECTION has identified the following areas of work:

• State of the art and requirements analysis
• Specification of an integrated framework for security and resiliency of networked systems
• Design and development of techniques for increasing security and resiliency
• Integration and verification of security and resiliency tools
• Trial and demonstration
• Metrics and Standards
• Dissemination, exploitation and IPR management
  

As previously mentioned, a prototype of the security framework is going to be released during the Project. It will be used to build a final demonstrator showing specific scenarios and will be validated by both the INTERSECTION partners playing the role of end users and the members of Group of Experts supporting the proposal.
