This exploitation result consists in cybersecurity consultancy services supported by ResilBlockly (former Blockly4SoS), a Model-Driven Engineering tool that has been developed in the context of BIECO.
Description
Describe the innovation content of the result:
A low complexity, still rigorous, solution for system-of-systems modelling supporting risk assessment and cybersecurity consultancies. The tool will enable the provision of these services at design time, during the early prototyping phase.
Who will be the customer?
Reference market is the critical infrastructures and systems, starting from the existing customers of Resiltech in transportation (e.g. automotive, railway, maritime). However, thanks to the modelling feature of the tool, which allows modelling at different levels of abstraction, and thanks to the implementation of a general risk assessment methodology, the value proposition is suitable to be used in several domains and the potential market embraces in general the SMEs interested in cybersecurity and risk assessment consultancies
What benefit will it bring to the customers?
Early identification of weaknesses and prompt performance of modifications on any existing infrastructures; identification of existing vulnerabilities to be eliminated or which likelihood of exploit needs to be significantly reduced.
When is the expected date of achievement in the project (Mth/yr)?
August 2021
When is the time to market (Mth/yr)?
08/2023
What are the costs to be incurred after the project and before exploitation?
Cost of tool maintenance: €20,000 (1 year), €35,000 (1-3 years)
• Cost of marketing initiatives and material: €3,000 (1 year), €7,500 (1-3 years)
• Cost of internal training and training of new resources: €2,000 (1 year), €5,000 (1-3 years)
• Personnel cost: €60,000 (1 year), €240,000 (1-3 years)
What is the approximate price range of this result/price of licences?
Price of consultancies to be determined (licensing is currently not in the plans)
What are the market size in Millions € for this result and relevant trend?
The security consulting services market reached $23.5 billion (approx. €20 billion) in 2020; source: Gartner Research)
How will this result rank against competing products in terms of price/performance?
To be determined
Who are the competitors for this result?
Competitors are companies and organizations in different domains trying to enter this market and offering risk assessment services, especially with the assistance of dedicated and proprietary software tools and following the approach of model-driven engineering and threat modelling

Domain Specific Language
The domain specific language enables specification of digital twin behaviour in a manner that can enable a predicted evaluation of its trustworthy behaviour in a simulated environment
Fail-operation clock synchronization methodology
Synchronization loss can occur due to many reasons, either because of a device or link failure or due to a targeted attack on the reference node, which supplies the corrected time to the network’s nodes.
Time sensitive network simulation
Simulate the real time communication for the distributed based on the Time sensitive network simulation. Additionally, simulate the fail-operation clock synchronization methodology. This simulation will validate the communication stack.
Remote updating- upgrading of vehicle firmware
Securing remote and in-vehicle communications against cyber-attacks, possibly performed with quantum computers in the near future, is a major goal in the automotive sector.
Extension of the approach to the communications within the whole supply chain of the Microfactory
Once the secure communication with a vehicle has been demonstrated for remote FW update, it is straightforward to extend it to a general Service-Over-the-Air architecture and even further.
Ontology Manager Tool
Ontology Manager is a Framework responsible for managing the Core Ontology used in BIECO, called DAEMON. It aims to support organizing concepts and their relationships related to System of Systems (SoS), Internet of Things (IoT), and System Components management and Monitoring.
