June 20, 2024.- The IDUNN project is proud to announce the latest advancements in cybersecurity tools with the introduction of five cutting-edge modules designed to address the evolving challenges in the digital landscape. These modules, AMORA, HEIMDAL, THOR, ODIN, and FRIGG, represent a significant leap forward in ensuring robust, comprehensive cybersecurity measures.

AMORA: The Key Testing Tool: AMORA is an interoperability-testing tool within the IDUNN project, ensuring seamless integration between various components and evaluating traceability solutions. It simulates cyber-attack behavior by running attack scripts to identify vulnerability points, producing valuable simulation outputs and predictive security analysis to train AI-based models.

AMORA focuses on:

  1. Audit Information: Enhancing transparency, security, and privacy in ICT systems.
  2. Secure Data Infrastructure for Conformance Testing: Simulating communications and testing scenarios to analyze attacks and failure scenarios.
  3. Distributed Ledger and Interfaces for Value Chain Data: Evaluating DLT technologies for forensics and AI training.
  4. Automatic Auditing Before and After Operation: Using traceability to improve analysis and documentation of blueprints.
  5. Task Verification Platform for Data Elicitation: Running communication tests and mapping incidents to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework.

HEIMDAL: Real-Time Threat Detection: HEIMDAL processes real-time events in OT environments to detect incidents or threats. It monitors traffic, identifies vulnerabilities, and analyzes source code while incorporating human factors in threat detection.

Features of HEIMDAL:

  1. Communication and System Monitoring: Monitors traffic, system status, and device updates.
  2. Vulnerability Intelligence: Searches for vulnerabilities and exploits to mitigate potential attacks.
  3. Source Code Analysis: Analyzes code for security issues and license compliance.
  4. Human in the Loop: Detects human misuse or suspicious actions.

THOR: Threat Prediction and Real-Time Analysis: THOR collects real-time data from various sources, including sensors and social networks, to predict and analyze threats using AI-driven techniques.

Features of THOR:

  1. Data Collection and Training: Utilizes real-time and historical data for training and analysis.
  2. Vulnerability Intelligence: Gathers information from the Surface, Deep, and Dark Web.
  3. Threat Analysis: Transforms data into actionable insights for intrusion detection and threat analysis.

ODIN: Enhanced Decision-Making for Resilience: ODIN ingests security alerts, transforms them into actionable insights, and manages these alerts through critical tasks such as case escalation and alert enrichment.

Features of ODIN:

  1. Alert Ingestion: Collects alerts from various cybersecurity providers.
  2. Custom Field Configuration: Adapts to different alert formats.
  3. Comprehensive Alert and Case Management: Manages alerts from inception to resolution.
  4. Observables Management: Analyzes observables to improve incident response.
  5. Alert Enrichment: Enriches alerts with additional threat intelligence.
  6. Response Action Management: Automates response actions and integrates with other platforms.

FRIGG: The New Mutation Step: FRIGG represents a new step in the cybersecurity framework, supervising defense methods to ensure expected results through defined metrics, analysis, and adjustments.

Work Carried Out for FRIGG:

  1. Simulator for Incidents: Developed generative models for simulating cyber-attacks.
  2. Define KPIs and KRIs: Created a catalogue of cybersecurity risks and visualization tools.
  3. Implementation of Dynamic Visualization Dashboard: Developed interactive widgets and automation rules for comprehensive visualization.

Modules of FRIGG:

  1. Mutation Logic: Connects and integrates alert sources for analysis and response.
  2. Adversarial Intelligence and Machine Learning Models: Automates actions to enhance alert research and enrichment.
  3. Interactive Visualization Widgets: Manages and reports actions for detected threats.
