PRAETORIAN – Protection of Critical Infrastructures from advanced combined cyber and physical threats

The PRAETORIAN toolset supports the security managers of Critical Infrastructures (CI) in their decision making to anticipate and withstand potential cyber, physical or combined security threats to their own infrastructures and other interrelated CIs that could have a severe impact on their performance and/or the security of the population in their vicinity.

Project duration
6/2021 – 5/2023
Source of financing
EU Programme Horizon 2020, research and innovation action (RIA)

Goal of the project

PRAETORIAN strategic goal is to increase the security and resilience of European CIs, facilitating the coordinated protection of interrelated CI against combined physical and cyber threats. To that end, the project will provide a multidimensional (economical, technological, policy, societal) yet installation-specific toolset comprising: (i) a Physical Situation Awareness system, (ii) a Cyber Situation Awareness system; (iii) a Hybrid Situation Awareness system, which will include digital twins of the infrastructure under protection; and (iv) a Coordinated Response system. 

Protection of Critial Infrastructure

The project specifically tackles (i.e. prevents, detects, responses and, in case of a declared attack, mitigates) humanmade cyber and physical attacks or natural disasters affecting CIs. It also addresses how an attack or incident in a specific CI can jeopardize the normal operation of other neighboring/interrelated CIs, and how to make all of them more resilient, by predicting cascading effects and proposing a unified response among CIs and assisting First Responder teams. PRAETORIAN is a CI-led, user-driven project, which demonstrates its results in three international pilot clusters – some of them cross border – involving 9 outstanding critical infrastructures: 2 international airports, 2 ports, 3 hospitals and 2 power plants.
