CERIS INFRA 2022 workshop: How research supports the directive on the resilience of critical entities

On July 12th, the EC organized in Brussels the workshop of CERIS INFRA “How research supports the directive on the resilience of critical entities”. Within the framework of this workshop, a panel session “Resilience enhancing research – examples from new sectors covered by the (Critical Entities Resilience) CER Directive” took place, during which Satways Ltd has been invited to contribute to the discussion based on research inputs and findings from the 7SHIELD project.

George Eftychidis, from Satways R&D Dept. presented the overall approach and the objectives of 7SHIELD project, focusing to the relation of the project with the new European CER Directive under development. The presentation highlighted the following aspects:

• The 7SHIELD tools and solutions that are developed for the direct benefit of the operators and the public agencies
• The adopted Standardization framework, which is implemented within the project
• The 7SHIELD platforms created for information and data sharing.

Further to the above, more details have been provided to some of the solutions offered/developed by Satways in the project, and more specifically the CIRP-RAT and the ENGAGE CSIM.

The presentation and the questions raised by the EC officers in charge for issuing the new directive concluded that 7Shield is aligned with the EC’s approach for integrating the management of cyber and physical threats using a unified conceptual framework and an interoperable command and control platform.
