STOP-IT

Integration of different solutions

At the project’s core is the prevention, detection, response and mitigation of relevant risks at strategic, tactical and operational levels. Various modular solutions (technologies, tools and guidelines) will be combined into a software platform.

STOP-IT solutions are based, on the one hand, on mature technologies which are improved by being combined and embedded and, on the other, on new technologies whose TRL (Technology Readiness Level) is increased.

Demonstration at water companies

The STOP-IT project will produce solutions that will be demonstrated at several water companies, including Aigües de Barcelona (ES), Berliner Wasserbetriebe (DE), MEKOROT (IL), Oslo VAV (NO) and KWR’s new shareholder, De Watergroep (BE), stimulating mutual learning, transfer and uptake.

Building on this solid basis, STOP-IT will deliver high impact through the creation of hands-on training, best practice guidelines, and support for certification and standardization. The project will also foster market opportunities for the developed solutions by leveraging the WSSTP’s multi-stakeholder network.

 The role of KWR

KWR’s responsibilities in STOP-IT are threefold:

1. Lead work related to assessing and treating cyber-physical risks at strategic and tactical levels.
2. Contribute to the development of future threat landscape scenarios.
3. Support the development of a Community of Practice for Water Infrastructure Protection.
