In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, the Resilmesh project stands out as a pioneering initiative focused on the holistic protection of critical infrastructures. Rooted in the foundational principle that “you can’t secure what you don’t understand“, Resilmesh aims to elevate the security and resilience of digital infrastructures through the development of a Security Orchestration and Analytics Platform Architecture (SOAPA) founded on the concept of cybersecurity awareness. In this talk, we will present the Resilmesh project and its results, ranging from academic research to real-world deployments. Moreover, we will present the cascade funding and associated opportunitied in Resilmesh and other Horizon Europe projects.
