STOP-IT project for protection of water infrastructures gains momentum

A year after the start of STOP-IT, the project that deals with the protection of water infrastructures against cyber and physical threats, is on its way. Connections, challenges and solutions are identified and STOP-IT has begun to develop a set of tools and services to protect critical water infrastructures at strategic, tactical and operational level. These solutions include the security of wireless networks with a wireless jammer detection system, advanced video surveillance systems, person detectors that use WiFi signals, improved SCADA and IT systems using Blockchain technology, a system to share information related to cyber incidents, and a novel system for detecting suspicious anomalies in real time. They also include solutions concerning the development of a scenario planner tool to help users conceptualise risk in a structured manner as well as a framework to integrate and combine information from a risk assessment toolbox, a risk reduction database and the stress-testing information in order to provide end users with proper intervention planning against risks.
