FINSEC is an example of integration between Physical + Cyber security fully dedicated to the critical infrastructures in the financial sector. The main results of the FINSEC project are:

• Standard based reference architecture
• Predictive security
• Collaborative security
• Security toolbox and certification services

Over the past years, the cyber threat landscape has greatly evolved. Organizations are faced with a
challenging task of preventing attacks and have fast and effective detection and response mechanisms
if attacks cannot be prevented. In addition, it is commonly reported that the time to compromise is
typically very short (i.e. seconds to minutes), while the discovery time is more likely to be weeks or
months. In addition, the time from detection to containment of the attack may again take weeks.

PUZZLE brings together multidisciplinary competences and resources from the academia, industry and research community focusing on digital community, multi-dependency cyberphysical risk assessment, edge trust assurance services and remote attestation, distributed processing, programmable networking mechanisms, cybersecurity analytics, deep analysis and distributed machine learning, threat intelligence and blockchain technologies. 

Over the last decade the European Union has faced numerous threats that quickly increased in their magnitude, changing the lives, the habits and the fears of hundreds of millions of citizens. The sources of these threats have been heterogeneous, as well as weapons to impact the population. As Europeans, we know now that we must increase our awareness against these attacks that can strike the places we rely upon the most and destabilize our institutions remotely. Today, the lines between physical and cyber worlds are increasingly blurred.
