UBITECH participates in the ASTRID Research and Innovation Action on security, privacy, and trustworthiness of virtualized services
UBITECH is participating at the kick-off meeting, in Genova, Italy (May 30-31, 2018), of the ASTRID Research and Innovation Action, officially started on May 1st, 2018. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon 2020 Programme (Grant Agreement No. 786922) and spans on the period May 2018 – April 2021. The ASTRID H2020 project aims to provide better awareness about cyber-security threats of virtualised services, referred to each single component (i.e., each specific application) as well as the service as a whole (i.e., the entire service graph), and facilitate (possibly automate) the detection and reaction to sophisticated cyber-attacks, incorporating the ability to detect vulnerabilities, threats and attacks not only from the canonical input/output channel of the services, but also internally to the service. In particular, the ASTRID project will (a) decouple the service business logic from the (necessary) security management; (b) automate security management and response to threats, security incidents, attacks; (c) reduce the run-time overhead of security processing; and (d) support legal and forensics investigation in virtualised environments.

UBITECH presented the ICARUS H2020 project (https://www.icarus2020.aero/) at the European Big Data Value Meetup in May 14-16, 2018 in Sofia. The first Big Data Value Meetup, a 3 days event organized in Sofia (Bulgaria) in May 2018 by the Big Data Value Association, gathered the European Big Data community to discuss and exchange thoughts, ideas and insights about the present and the future of the data driven economy. With more than 100 attendants, 15 workshops, 5 keynotes, 20 speakers, 3 panels and 10 exhibitors, the event has been an excellent opportunity to strengthen the collaboration between the different stakeholders within the Big Data Value Public Private Partnership, but also to contact and engage new relevant actors in Central & East Europe. Dimitris Alexandrou presented the concept and approach of the ICARUS project, which aims to deliver a novel framework and architecture that leverages data, primary or secondarily related to the aviation domain, coming from diverse sources to help companies and organizations whose operations are directly or indirectly linked to aviation to simultaneously enhance their data reach, as well as share / trade their existing data sources and intelligence, in order to gain better insights into airplanes’, airports’ and passengers’ quantified selves and contribute to improving their operations whether in real time or “offline” and increasing passengers’ safety and satisfaction.
Diamond Sponsor of the Hellenic Cyber Security Team participating at the European Cyber Security Challenge 2018
UBITECH proudly supports (for the second year in a row) the Hellenic Cyber Security Team‘s efforts at the European Cyber Security Challenge (ECSC), organized by ENISA, between October 15 to October 19, in London, UK. The 2018 ECSC challenge is aimed at identifying new talent – by having national teams compete in a Cyber Security Challenge. In particular, the top cyber talents from each country meet to network and collaborate and finally compete against each other to determine which country has the best cyber talents. To find out which country’s team is the best, contestants have to solve security related tasks from domains such as web security, mobile security, crypto puzzles, reverse engineering and forensics and collect points for solving them.
The team that will compete in the 2018 ECSC challenge grand finals is assembled after a qualification round, held on April 18-19, 2018, which determined the top 10 cyber security talents in Greece (aged between 14-25) – among them, UBITECH’s Petros Mantos (0nlyslayer) who qualified second for the Hellenic Cyber Security Team through the EthiHak 2018 contest. The team will compete in the Challenge 2018 finals, in London, UK.
