Securing Smart Future: Cyber Threats and Intelligent Means to Respond

Smart Environments contribute towards better, user-friendly and automated environments; however, often lacking means of implementation of necessary cybersecurity measures capable of handling adversarial actions. In this paper we will introduce the anticipated cyber threats and corresponding ambition of the ENViSEC project that is aimed at enhancing the Smart Environments cybersecurity by introducing intelligent multi-agent data handling and cyber threats sharing. The potential of the project is to introduce situational awareness and data streams from Internet of Things ecosystem to offer a resilient response to cyber-attacks. This will ensure human-oriented awareness and early detection of cybercrimes in the era of Big Data. The new approach will include multi-level data aggregation and off-chip Machine Learning model training to reduce the overhead and latency of the IoT components yet guarantee the necessary level of hardening cybersecurity in a cross-sector context.
