A Spanish SME specialized on the provisioning of advanced solutions for IT services, is interested in building a consortium and submit a project under the call DS-02-2016 of Horizon 2020 (with deadline 28th August 2016).

Since the attacks (criminal, cybernetics, etc.) are becoming more sophisticated and massive, it is necessary to develop the appropriate security tools and provide specific resources for a continuous updating of defenses against them. This project aims to develop a technology for self-protection of files (documents, tools, etc.). Usually, the authorized users for using a file (or document) could be considered unreliable. You need to trust them about how they are going to use the file and therefore you leave the security of the document in the hands of those authorized users.

The protection technology that will be addressed in this project will seek to overcome the limitations of the SoA and it will become an everyday tool for SME´s, local public administrations and individuals on the daily basis, as it is intended as a very low cost compared to current solutions that require installation of hardware and software infrastructure within the enterprise IT structure.

Our project is mainly focused on the security for SMEs and local public administrations, but the individuals can also use our solution because they have threats as the other end users, so they need a protection for their documents.

The call:

• DS-02-2016 “Cyber Security for SMEs, local public administration and Individuals”.
• Call deadline: 28th August 2016.
• Deadline for the expressions of interest: end of July 2016.
• Duration of the project: TBD.
