The PHOENIX approach focuses on the protection of the European end-to-end EPES (Electrical Power and Energy System) (from energy production to presumption) via the prevention, early detection and fast mitigation of cyber-attacks against EPES assets and networks and from (intentional and unintentional, internal and external) human activities, while protecting the utilities and end-users’ privacy from data breaches by design.

Expected results consider a holistic EPES security & privacy protection framework, including:

• 5G/ inter-DLT secure & traceable communications
• Situation Awareness, Perception & Comprehension based on privacy-preserving federated ML/zero-knowledge verification
• Traceable/near-real-time synchronized incidents information sharing platform (I2SP)
• GDPR Privacy Protection Toolkit
• Innovative Security & Privacy as a service business model
• Certification methodology and procedures (targeting TRL 7-8).
