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.

CyberNEMO 1st Advisory Board Meeting and initial feedback

The CyberNEMO Advisory Board is composed of three esteemed professionals: Enric Pere Pages Montanera (Eviden, NEMO project coordinator), John Soldatos (Professor at the University of York), and Denis Čaleta (President of the Board at the Institute for Corporate Security Studies). Their combined expertise offers a strong foundation for providing strategic guidance and technical oversight throughout the lifecycle of the CyberNEMO project.

The first Advisory Board (AB) meeting took place on March 19th, 2024. During this important session, the project coordinator and Work Package (WP) leaders of CyberNEMO delivered a comprehensive overview of the project. Their presentation focused on the project’s rationale, strategic context, and key objectives, with an emphasis on the pilot use cases that will serve as practical demonstrations of the project’s capabilities.

CyberNEMO aims to extend the existing NEMO framework, delivering end-to-end, full-stack protection across the computing continuum. The project is grounded in both state-of-the-art (SOTA) and innovative cybersecurity and privacy-preservation techniques, pushing beyond current technological boundaries. It focuses on securing a wide range of heterogeneous computing environments, including cloud, edge, and IoT systems.

The Advisory Board members acknowledged the value and potential of the CyberNEMO project, highlighting that it is well-structured, with clear milestones, ambitious objectives, and a strategically sound roadmap. They praised the use of innovative technologies, noting that while they bring exciting opportunities, they also introduce challenges that will require careful management. A particularly important success factor identified was the encryption, synchronization, and protection of data across diverse computing environments.

The consortium has taken the Advisory Board’s feedback and recommendations seriously and will integrate them into the upcoming phases of the project to refine the methodology and enhance the overall design approach moving forward.

The Importance of Cybersecurity in Today’s Digital World

In an era where technology drives nearly every aspect of our lives, cybersecurity has become a critical necessity. From safeguarding personal data to protecting critical infrastructure, cybersecurity ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our digital assets. As we increasingly rely on interconnected devices, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated.

The Growing Threat Landscape

The digital age brings immense convenience but also exposes us to significant risks. Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities to launch attacks such as phishing, ransomware, and data breaches. In 2023 alone, global cybercrime costs were estimated to surpass $8 trillion, with predictions to escalate further in the coming years. Beyond monetary losses, cyberattacks compromise personal privacy, disrupt businesses, and even threaten national security. Critical sectors like healthcare, energy, and finance are prime targets due to their reliance on interconnected systems and sensitive data.

Why Cybersecurity Matters

Protecting Personal Data: With the proliferation of online transactions and social media, individuals’ personal information is more accessible than ever. Cybersecurity ensures that sensitive data like financial details and health records remain secure from unauthorized access.

Business Continuity: For businesses, a robust cybersecurity framework is essential to prevent disruptions caused by cyberattacks. Downtime from an attack can lead to significant financial losses, tarnished reputation, and even legal liabilities.

National Security: Cybersecurity is a cornerstone of national defense strategies. Cyberattacks targeting government institutions, defense systems, or critical infrastructure can have devastating consequences, including espionage or sabotage.

IoT and Cloud Security: The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cloud computing introduces new vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity ensures the seamless operation of smart homes, autonomous vehicles, and cloud-based services by protecting them from hacking attempts.

Building a Secure Future

Effective cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Governments, organizations, and individuals must work together to implement strong security practices. This includes regular software updates, using multi-factor authentication, and educating users about recognizing potential threats.

Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain are also being leveraged to enhance cybersecurity. AI can detect and respond to threats in real time, while blockchain provides a tamper-proof way to secure transactions and data.

To conclude, cybersecurity is not just an IT issue; it is a fundamental necessity in safeguarding the interconnected world we live in. Investing in cybersecurity today means protecting our digital future tomorrow.
