The Technical University of Deggendorf is looking for more SME partners for their project idea "dec4sec - Cyber Deception for IT security in small and medium-sized enterprises", which is to be submitted via the funding line KMU-Innovativ of the BMBF.
The idea "dec4sec" aims to delay cyber attacks by introducing Honey-X technology in the form of virtual network participants. This protection of valuable corporate assets (hardware/software, know-how) is achieved by methods of cyber deception - mutation of network parameters and misrepresentation of information. In this context, open source technologies are to be used for the technical implementation to achieve broad applicability and these are to be enriched with artificial intelligence methodologies.
More specifically, three innovations are targeted in dec4sec:
Scalability, integrability and user-friendly roll-out through an intelligent recommendation system for the design of the Honey-X system
Adoption of Honey-X technology as a managed service
Optimization of Honey-X component by dynamic topology change of Honey networks based on root-cause analysis in case of attack
Project data:
Project duration: 3 years
Currently, the consortium consists of one large company, one SME and one research institution
