Project Information

The SPEAR (Secure and PrivatE smArt gRid) project is a research program, funded by the Horizon 2020 framework programme of the European Union and it aims at developing an integrated platform of methods, processes, and tools for:

• Timely detecting evolved security attacks using big data analytics, advanced visual-aided anomaly detection tools, and smart node trust management schemes
• Developing an advanced forensic readiness framework for collecting attack traces and preparing the necessary legal evidence in court, while preserving user private information
• Implementing an anonymous smart grid channel for mitigating the lack of trust in exchanging sensitive information about cyberattack incidents
• Performing risk analysis and awareness through cyber hygiene frameworks, while empowering EU-wide consensus, by collaborating with European and global security organizations, standardization bodies, industrial groups and smart grid operators
• Exploiting the research outcomes to more critical infrastructure domains, while creating competitive business models for utilizing the implemented security tools in smart grid operators and actors across Europe
