Atos leads SUNRISE, the project to protect European infrastructures
against major catastrophes
Madrid,
January 23,
2023 - Atos will
coordinate a group of 41 public and private organizations that will
work together, over the next three years, on the SUNRISE project to
develop a set of technologies and solutions that improve the
resilience of critical infrastructures against the impact of
pandemics and relevant risks related to climate change or resource
scarcity. The project aims to guarantee the greatest availability,
reliability and continuity of critical equipment such as transport,
energy, water and health.
The objective of SUNRISE is to establish
cross-sector and cross-border collaboration where operators of
these infrastructures will be able to share best practices with
each other. The project will identify their distinct needs and
develop advanced technical tools to meet them. The diversity of
organizations participating in SUNRISE will allow researchers to
understand in detail the specific risks of each EU country and to
adapt the response.
In addition to coordinating the project and
participating as a technology provider, Atos will participate in
the analysis of vital services of critical infrastructures and in
the design of SUNRISE tools, with a focus on cyber-physical
resilience and remote inspection of these infrastructures. Atos
will provide a threat intelligence solution and perform dynamic
risk assessment through visual anomaly detection, 3D model
generation and UAV inspection. In addition, it will participate in
the dissemination and business plan and will lead the coordination,
administration, quality and risk control of the entire project.
In the presentation of SUNRISE, held at the
Polytechnic University of Madrid, its coordinator Antonio Álvarez,
from the Cybersecurity Unit of ARI de Atos in Iberia, explained
that these critical infrastructures are extremely important for our
societies, "but service operators essential and the European
authorities are not yet sufficiently equipped to deal with risks
that test their resistance”.
Research in the SUNRISE project is advancing
rapidly, and the partners have already given a series of workshops
to operators of critical infrastructures in Spain, Italy and
Slovenia in which, in turn, they have gathered first-hand knowledge
fundamental for the development of the project. The results of the
research will be piloted in 18 infrastructures in 8 different
countries.
The project, financed with 11 million euros by
the European Union within the framework of the Horizon Europe
Program, is coordinated by Atos through ARI (Atos Research and
Innovation), its innovation hub based in Madrid. More information
