Ransomware’s Rising Tide: Why Collaborative Defence is Key for SMEs

The Challenge


Ransomware, a sophisticated “digital protection racket,” is no longer just a nuisance; it’s a crippling threat, especially for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). These attacks, where cybercriminals encrypt data and demand payment, can halt operations, damage reputations, and even close businesses, as seen with an Italian SME that ethically refused to pay but faced temporary shutdown.
SMEs often lack the robust cybersecurity of larger firms, making them prime targets. But fighting back individually is tough.

A proposed solution

A united front. Experts argue for a collaborative defense strategy, centred around a shared and constantly evolving Body of Knowledge (BoK). This dynamic resource would pool insights on attack methods, threat actors, and effective defences, empowering everyone.
However, sharing sensitive Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) requires trust and compliance, especially with privacy and data protection (i.e., GDPR – Regulation EU 2016/679). This is where innovations like the ReD Service proposed by CyberSocial Lab. in CyberNEMO come in. Using smart contracts on a blockchain and robust pseudonymisation mechanisms, it enables secure, compliant CTI sharing based on explicit consent. This ensures personal data, as well as confidential and sensitive data, remains protected while fostering a collective shield.


Responsible Innovation


Recognised by the European Commission’s Innovation Radar and contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), the ReD Service exemplifies a proactive, collaborative cybersecurity posture – essential for SMEs to navigate today’s complex threat landscape and build resilience.

Safeguarding Critical Infrastructures: CyberNEMO’s Smart Energy & Water Trial

As digital technologies become more deeply embedded in our cities, the need to protect critical infrastructures, such as electricity grids and water systems, from cyber threats is more urgent than ever. In the CyberNEMO project, Trial 2, coordinated by ASM Terni, addresses this challenge through a real-world deployment in a multi-utility environment.


This trial evaluates how advanced cybersecurity solutions can protect smart energy and water systems from coordinated cyberattacks. From securing smart meters and EV charging infrastructure to protecting photovoltaic (PV) plants, power quality analyzers, and water pumps, Trial 2 replicates realistic threat scenarios with critical implications.

What makes this trial particularly relevant is its focus on:
• Cross-domain impact assessment, exploring how cyberattacks on the electricity network could disrupt water systems.
• Real-time monitoring, using data from PMUs, PQAs, and firewall logs to detect anomalies and simulate coordinated threats.
