MITIGATE - Multidimensional, integrated, risk assessment framework and dynamic, collaborative Risk Management tools for critical information infrastructures
Overview
Background & policy context:
Despite the importance of Critical Information Infrastructures and dynamic information and communication technology-based maritime supply chains SC for port operations, state-of-the-art risk management methodologies for maritime environments pay limited attention to cyber-security and do not adequately address security processes for international SC. Motivated by these limitations, MITIGATE will introduce, integrate, validate and commercialize a novel RM system, which will empower stakeholders’ collaboration for the identification, assessment and mitigation of risks associated with cybersecurity assets and SC processes. MITIGATE will be compliant with prominent security standards and regulations for the maritime sector (i.e. ISO27000, ISO28000, ISPS).
Objectives:
The main goal of MITIGATE is to realize a radical shift in risk management methodologies for the maritime sector towards a collaborative evidence-driven Maritime Supply Chain Risk Assessment (g-MSRA) approach that alleviates the limitations of state-of-the-art risk management frameworks. To this end, the project will integrate, validate and commercially exploit an effective, collaborative, standards-based risk management system for port’s Critical Information Infrastructures, which shall consider all threats arising from the supply chain, including threats associated with port CII interdependencies and associated cascading effects.
Methodology:
At the heart of the Risk Management system will be an open simulation environment enabling stakeholders to simulate risks and evaluate risk mitigation actions. This environment will allow users to model, design, execute and analyze attack-oriented simulations. Emphasis will be paid on the estimation of cascading effects in SCs, as well as on the prediction of future risks.
