Project description

Protecting the connected world from cyberattacks

Billions of devices around the world are connected. While the Internet of Things (IoT) is creating smarter, more responsive systems, these networks also face constant threats from cyberattacks due to exploiting vulnerabilities in devices and systems. The EU-funded TELEMETRY project takes two perspectives: a device-level perspective, considering an IoT device as a system of hardware and software; and a system perspective, where the device is deployed into. To boost cybersecurity and trust, TELEMETRY delivers tools that support anomaly detection, dynamic risk assessment, immutable data sharing and auditable recording of events and actions in the systems under test. Demonstrators in aerospace, smart manufacturing and telecommunications validate the tools. Where possible, open-source sharing ensures the results benefit the wider IoT community.

Objective

TELEMETRY will provide trustworthy tools that enable the continuous assessment of heterogenous, interlinked components & systems that constitute IoT ecosystems (interconnected IoT devices with hardware, software, services and communications infrastructure). Addressing all aspects of their lifecycle, the TELEMETRY holistic methodology and toolkit incorporates: testing for component development, testing & monitoring for component integration into systems, testing & monitoring for operation of systems. TELEMETRY will deliver advances in cybersecurity testing and runtime monitoring through the use of novel machine learning models and algorithms for real-time anomaly detection; dynamic risk assessment to simulate likelihood and severity of threat consequences; reputation management and privacy-preserving data sharing across independent entities (e.g. supply chains), IoT device emulation and analysis environment and lightweight approaches for trusted updates; all of which that promotes a cycle of continuous improvement and assurance across design and runtime phases. TELEMETRY will leverage 3 exemplar use cases representing diverse, complex IoT ecosystems and IoT supply chains in aerospace, smart manufacturing and telecommunications domains to drive the design and validation of the proposed tools and methodologies. This will lead to significant improvements with respect to accuracy of threat and vulnerability detection, response time and cost of testing and verification of IoT ecosystems. TELEMETRY will promote open source and knowledge sharing through engagement with relevant communities throughout the project for consultation, dissemination and exploitation of its results.
