Fueling Innovation Through Cybersecurity Research Projects

At asvin labs, cybersecurity research projects serve as the cornerstone of our continuous evolution, enabling us to nurture creativity and expand our problem-solving prowess.
For asvin, every successful project is a catalyst for further product development. – Let´s have a look at some current cybersecurity research projects.

Mantra

MANTRA

MANTRA creates a secure and resilient framework for the real- time exchange of cyber attack patterns and their risk manage- ment. The novel approach based on graph models offers signifi- cant advantages in cyber security management, especially in the automation and prioritization of measures, in risk minimization and during the active defense against cyber attacks.

The aim of the PCP is to develop new capabilities for operational cyber security in order to prepare the authorities in the area of internal and external security in Germany for future threats in the digital space

DOSS

DOSS

DOSS elaborates a secure-by-design methodology and implements related technology for complex IoT architectures, based on supply chain monitoring, component testing and architecture modelling.

https://dossproject.eu/

The project establishes a “Supply Trust Chain” with integrating key stages of the IoT supply chain into a digital communication loop to facilitate security related information exchange.

The technology includes security verification of all hardware and software components of the modelled architecture.

A “Device Security Passport” will be defined for 3rd party hardware and its components. 3rd party software,
open-source applications, as well as in-house developments will be tested and assessed.

Project duration:
1. Sept. 2023 – 31. May. 2026

Funding by European Commission
