Advanced cybersecurity Awareness ecosystem for SMEs
NERO is an advanced Cybersecurity Ecosystem consisting of five interrelated frameworks provisioned to offer a Cybersecurity Awareness program, as recommended by ENISA to be the best way to educate and develop a security-first culture amongst employees on how to mitigate the impact of cyber threats and incorporate activities, resources, and training to foster a cyber security culture. NERO primarily provides SMEs with a Cyber Immunity Toolkit Repository, Cyber Resilience Program, and Cyber Awareness Training via Gamification and provides its modules through a user-friendly Marketplace. The effectiveness and the performance of the concept will be validated in three use case demonstrations on different domains: Enhancing Patient Data Security in Healthcare through Cybersecurity Tools; Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience through Cybersecurity Awareness in the Transportation and Logistics Industry; and Boosting Financial Security through Enhanced Cybersecurity Awareness and Tools.
MetaMind Innovations (MINDS) contributes to the NERO project by developing cybersecurity technologies that help strengthen the awareness, preparedness and resilience of European SMEs. The company leads activities related to cybersecurity landscape analysis, threat identification, end-user requirements, use case definition and the technical design of the NERO ecosystem. Through this work, MINDS helps ensure that the project’s solutions address real cybersecurity challenges across the healthcare, transport and logistics, and financial sectors.
MINDS also contributes two core technologies to the NERO Cyber Immunity Toolkit: M-HaaS (Honeypot as a Service) and M-RADAR. These solutions support network monitoring, intrusion detection, threat intelligence collection and the detection of suspicious or malicious activity. In addition, MINDS supports their integration and validation within the NERO platform and contributes to the project’s dissemination, exploitation and training activities.
