The project is combines the strengths of academia and industry towards developing a framework for creating, monitoring and managing cyber insurance policies covering organisations against cyber system security attacks.
CyberSure lasts for four years and started in January 2017.
Professor Spanoudakis said:
“The continually increasing extent and sophistication of cyber security attacks poses a continuous threat to the privacy and security of individuals, organisations and the society at large. CyberSure aims to develop a market ready framework for creating and managing cyber insurance policies, offering technical and financial protection against such threats."
He goes on further:
"The development of the CyberSure framework will be based on building upon and integrating tools for cyber systems certification using runtime monitoring of security; risk management, and insurance policy creation and management. The outcomes of the CyberSure programme will be applied and evaluated in cyber system pilots in the areas of cloud and e-health services.”
