FEDerated sEcurity and pRotection of criticAL InfraStructure / FEDERALS project aims to develop a decentralized cybersecurity platform based on Artificial Intelligence and advanced technologies such as Federated Learning, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), and edge computing. The system enables real-time risk detection and automated threat response across distributed infrastructure nodes, enhancing the resilience and protection of national-level critical infrastructures. FEDERALS also supports privacy-preserving data processing and facilitates secure information exchange, contributing to higher levels of trust, interoperability, and compliance with European cybersecurity standards.
