«Cyber Rapid Analysis for Defense Awareness of Real-time Situation - CyRADARS»

Operational analysis of cyber threats to control the situation in real time

Project number: SPS G5286

Project validity: 1.11.2017 - 31.10.2021.

The purpose and objectives of the project:
The main goal of the CyRADARS project is to develop the latest theoretical foundations, methods and research prototypes of software to ensure mastery of the situation in operations related to the dissemination of malicious information. Appropriate methods and tools, if implemented in national organizations responsible for cybersecurity, will: The main goal of the CyRADARS project is to develop the latest theoretical foundations, methods and research prototypes of software to ensure ownership of the situation in operations related to the dissemination of malicious information. Appropriate methods and tools, if implemented in national organizations responsible for cybersecurity, will allow:

monitor national cyberspace for the analysis of information injections and the promotion of malicious information;
inform the relevant national authorities;
create the conditions necessary to make decisions on countering or actively responding to hostile cyber campaigns.

Project goals:

research and detection of direct network attacks related to disinformation campaigns or non-standard behavior in the network using machine learning technologies, as well as the calculation of appropriate indicators of efficiency and complexity;
development of models, indicators, algorithms and information technologies, including software, which will determine all three levels of situation awareness (Situation Awareness), namely: perception, understanding, forecasting;
development of theoretical bases, methods and recommendations, as well as software for situational monitoring, which will allow almost online:
- track attempts at information attacks and report information attacks in a timely manner;
- create the conditions necessary to make decisions on the prevention or timely response to information hazards.

Areas of project activity:

development of models and methods to achieve the project goal;
development of libraries and software within the project objectives;
testing of developed models, methods and information support;
interaction with project stakeholders for practical implementation of development results;
dissemination of methods and models of information security in various areas of human life and organization.

Expected results:

the developed models, methods and information support will allow the end users of this project to test the developed system using network modeling tools and infrastructure authorization tools;
the software developed during the project implementation will be created largely on the basis of open source technologies, so it will be possible to integrate the system with other, already existing, information systems;
a set of developed approaches will provide consumers with more effective opportunities to protect against hostile information influences.
