AI4CYBER

Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity Reinforcement and System Resilience

AI4CYBER ambition is to provide an Ecosystem Framework of next-generation trustworthy cybersecurity services that leverage AI and Big Data technologies to support system developers and
operators in effectively managing robustness, resilience, and dynamic response against advanced and AI-powered cyberattacks. The project delivers a new breed of AI-driven software robustness and security testing services that significantly facilitates the testing experts work, through smarter flaw identification and code fixing automation. Moreover, the project will provide cybersecurity services for comprehension, detection and analysis of AI-powered attacks to prepare the critical systems to be resilient against them. Incident response support by AI4CYBER will offload security operators from complex and tedious tasks offering them mechanisms to optimize the orchestration of the most appropriate combination of security protections, and continuously learn from system status and defences’ efficiency. The AI4CYBER framework ensures fundamental rights and values-based AI technology in its services, through the integration of demonstrable explainability, fairness and technology robustness (security) capabilities in the AI4CYBER components.

The ecosystem will be validated in three scenarios:
i) Detection and Mitigation of AI-powered Attacks against the Energy Sector,
ii)Robustness and autonomous adaptation of Banking applications to face AI-powered attacks and
iii) Resilient hospital services againstadvanced and AI-powered cyber-physical attacks.
