Towards a Sophisticated SIEM Marketplace for Blockchain-based Threat Intelligence and Security-as-a-Service
Suite5 led the development of the project’s blockchain enabled marketplace for data sharing on cyber-security operational threat intelligence, while it also led the construction of the project’s MVP. Moreover, the S5 Activity Tracker infrastructure of Suite5 acted as a demonstrator to test the project’s solutions during the piloting phase.
PUZZLE implemented a highly usable cybersecurity, privacy and data protection management marketplace targeted at SMEs&MEs that enabled them to monitor, forecast, assess and manage their cyber risks through targeted cybersecurity services, increase their cybersecurity awareness through the efficient heterogeneous information processing, the establishment of knowledge sharing with other SMEs&MEs and extract insights based on advanced analytics. The PUZZLE tracked the relationships among the cyber assets of each SME&ME, considering the available network, compute and storage infrastructure and used them to efficiently calculate individual, cumulative and propagated risks, as well as recommend and apply mitigation actions. PUZZLE also supported vulnerabilities and threats assessment in a collaborative manner based on the homogenization of data provided by the SMEs&MEs. Data was collected by resource handling and monitoring agents applied over Cloud/Edge Computing, IoT and network infrastructure. Such data was enriched with data provided in relevant open repositories. SMEs&MEs data sharing took place through blockchain-based technologies for secure data management. Based on the calculated risks and the provided graph topology, the application of resilient defensive strategies was recommended, considering the type of infrastructure used by the SME&ME. Automated defensive strategies deployment mechanisms were also made available, reducing a lot the complexity and the burden for the deployment of the provided services by cybersecurity managers in SMEs&MEs. Special emphasis was given on the usability and the rise of competitiveness of the PUZZLE Marketplace, by designing solutions that could be easily on-boarded by external cybersecurity providers and could be seamlessly adopted by the end-users taking into account their preferences.
