3. DS : Proposal Idea Cybersecurity PPP: Addressing Advanced Cyber Security Threats and Threat Actors Innovation Actions – Simulation Environments, Training (Project Coordinator) Research and Innovation Actions –Situational Awareness (WP leader, S/T provider)
Main novelty:
Serious game technology adaptation to cyber-security/cyber-attacks
Creation of various virtual operational environments (e.g., using mail services, web – browsers, file – transfers, chat and social-network uses, etc.)
Background processes running on potential victims terminal in order to monitor user behavior and allow interaction
Key components:
Virtual environments and background processes communicate with NCSRD’s agent–based simulation engine
Agents act either individually or collectively as potential malicious users who attack the potential victims (based on a strategic plan)
Each agent implements a behavioral model which is responsible for the attack strategy
Psychological data about human social engineering vulnerabilities
Cognition and Perception models
Historical data about past cyber-security violations and cyber-attack incidents
Simulation engine provides monitoring, analytics and recommendations

4. DS-07-2017: Consortium - profile
Proposal coordinator: NCSR DEMOKRITOS
NCSRD’s assets:
Agent–based simulation engine
Game engine programming and gamification tools development
Visualization techniques - UI/UX
Behavioral model (AI, statistical or deterministic) design based on experts theoretical use cases and log datasets
Data analytics, socio-economic studies regarding cyber-security
Data mining, personalization and recommendation engine
Looking for partners with the following expertise/ technology/ application field:
Experts in Psychology / Sociology and humanitarian sciences related to cyber-security, user behavior/perception and reaction to various malicious cyber–stimuli
End-users (organizations – military – industry) in order to examine several different use cases and the associated risk and cost
Experts in Information Systems security

5. DS : Technology provider Cybersecurity PPP: Privacy, Data Protection, Digital Identities - Privacy-enhancing Technologies (PET) (WP leader, S/T provider) - General Data Protection Regulation in practice (GDPR) (WP leader, S/T provider)
