CyberNEMO at SecSoft 2025 – Presenting Research on Verifiable Evidence for Zero Trust Networks

The CyberNEMO project was represented at the SecSoft 2025 workshop, held on June 27th in Budapest in conjunction with the IEEE NetSoft 2025 conference. The workshop brought together researchers, practitioners, and industry partners working on topics related to security, privacy, and trust in software-defined and AI-enabled network environments.

As part of the program, Ana Méndez, researcher from TID in the CyberNEMO consortium, presented the paper: “Transparent Notary Service: A Transparency Framework for Secure and Verifiable Network Evidence.”

This contribution introduces a lightweight, cryptographically verifiable notarization system that supports secure evidence handling and traceability in Zero Trust architectures. The work proposes a novel way to register and verify signed statements. such as access events, policy attestations, or network anomalies, using append-only logs and COSE-based signatures.

In addition to the paper, the CyberNEMO project poster was also presented at the event, outlining the project’s approach to trusted automation, distributed identity, and evidence-based orchestration in future 6G and cloud-native infrastructures.

The session was a valuable opportunity to share ongoing results, exchange ideas with other European and international initiatives, and highlight CyberNEMO’s commitment to building transparent and trustworthy network systems.

During the event, Ioannis Chrysakis from Netcompanyrepresented the CyberNEMO project, delivering a presentation that focused on key technological developments and the strategic liaison activities with other EU-funded projects. His talk highlighted the importance of fostering synergies across research initiatives, particularly in the domains of data value chains, AI applications, and sustainable agriculture.

Data Week 2025, organized by BDVA, took place on May 27–28 and revolved around the theme “Odyssey of AI: Navigating the Data Seas.” The event explored how artificial intelligence can unlock data value and emphasized the need for ecosystem collaboration to accelerate innovation, enhance competitiveness, and address societal challenges. CyberNEMO’s presence contributed to discussions on interoperability and knowledge transfer between data-centric EU projects.

In parallel, co-located with Data Week, the 1st One-Health Agri-Tech Workshop was organized by Synelixis, bringing together researchers, industry experts, and policymakers to explore cybersecure and smart agricultural solutions aligned with the Farm to Fork objectives of the European Green Deal. The workshop showcased cutting-edge technologies—including remote sensing, AI-powered analytics, and circular economy approaches—designed to enhance food security and promote environmental sustainability. During the event, Dr. Theodore Zahariadis (Synelixis) and Mr. Ioannis Chrysakis (Netcompany) realized liaison activities between a group of projectsthat participated at the  workshop, including CyberNemo, NESTLER, AGRIDATAVALUE and GEORGIA. These interactions promoted the sharing of best practices and the identification of joint opportunities for advancing sustainable cybersecure agri-tech solutions.

Overall, CyberNEMO’s active participation in both events reinforced its commitment to collaborative research and innovation, strengthening its connections with other EU initiatives and contributing to a broader European ecosystem focused on digital transformation and sustainability.

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.
• Privacy-by-design, ensuring sensitive data collected via smart meters or firewalls remains anonymized and protected under GDPR.

All collected datasets are structured, validated, and governed under a strict data management framework, supporting both technical research and ethical responsibility. ASM’s infrastructure enables a practical and scalable setup, serving as a living testbed for advancing Europe’s digital resilience.

CyberNEMO: Building a Responsible and Resilient Data Ecosystem for Europe’s Digital Future

As Europe’s digital infrastructure grows more complex—linking IoT, Edge, Cloud, and AI technologies—ensuring the ethical, secure, and sustainable management of data has never been more critical. In the CyberNEMO project, this responsibility is not just a technical necessity—it’s a guiding principle.


CyberNEMO adopts a robust, forward-looking Data Management Strategy designed to support innovation while fully respecting data privacy, cybersecurity, and FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). This approach enables the project to handle a wide range of data, from real-time IoT sensor streams to penetration testing logs and AI training datasets, while promoting transparency and reusability.


Key highlights of the strategy include:
• Use of trusted, secure repositories (e.g., EOSC, Zenodo) with persistent identifiers and standard metadata for traceability.
• Full alignment with GDPR and ethical AI frameworks, using anonymization, pseudonymization, and multi-layered security safeguards.
• Promotion of Open Science, including open access to peer-reviewed publications, AI/ML models, and experimental results.
• A structured and evolving data lifecycle that adapts to emerging risks, standards, and stakeholder feedback.

CyberNEMO not only ensures responsible data stewardship within the project but also creates a replicable model for European research and innovation. By combining technical excellence with ethical governance, CyberNEMO is helping shape a secure and trustworthy digital future.
