ARGOS Clustering with EDEN Project

The “End-User Driven demo for CBRNe (EDEN)” FP7 Project workshop was organized in February 25-26th, 2015 in the Main School of Fire Service (SGSP) in Warsaw, Poland. This was a Virtual Facility (VF) event in a series of four workshops led by the SGSP in context of EDEN. Each VF is a virtual simulation of respective emergency radiation incident scenarios inside and outside of a nuclear plant which affect public safety at different levels of crisis management in an imaginary country.

ARGOS at III Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection

Everis Aerospace and Defense will present the European project ARGOS next 26^th February 2015, at the III Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection organized by the Spanish National Center for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CNPIC) along with the Borredá foundation.

The security of critical infrastructure is rapidly developing in Spain. Since the adoption of the Law for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure in 2011 until the adoption of the first sector plans last year, these services have undergone major changes in its security. During the day they will be announced the latest developments, which will occur throughout 2015 and future. The event will be attended by representatives of agencies such as the Spanish Home Office, the CNPIC or the Spanish Institute for Cyber Security (Incibe) plus security officials of various operators. They will address topics such as the current state of the system Critical Infrastructure Protection, sector strategic plans of Transport and Water (which will be released in the coming months) or cyber incident management in these environments.

ARGOS Project Presentation in CRITIS 2014 International Conference

CRITIS 2014 continues a well-established tradition of successful annual conferences. It aims at bringing together researchers and professionals from academia, industry and governmental organizations working in the field of the security of critical infrastructure systems.

Modern society relies on the availability and smooth operation of a variety of complex engineering systems. These systems are termed Critical Infrastructure Systems (CIS). Some of the most prominent examples of critical infrastructure systems are electric power systems, telecommunication networks, water distribution systems, transportation systems, wastewater and sanitation systems, financial and banking systems, food production and distribution, and oil/natural gas pipelines.
