Title:

SEPTON: Security Protection Tools for Networked Medical Devices

Program:

Horizon Europe

Duration:

36 months

Summary:

SEPTON aims at addressing the gap in the generic technologies and processes targeting the healthcare IT infrastructure, by adopting a holistic approach towards reinforcing networked medical device security within the healthcare center premises.  

The project will advance cutting-edge solutions in healthcare cybersecurity targeting healthcare providers and particularly focusing on networked medical devices (NMDs). The SEPTON approach will result in a comprehensive cybersecurity toolkit providing tools and mechanisms to be used in hospitals and care centres for a) the protection of networked medical devices, including wearable and implantable devices, and using techniques such as polymorphism b) the secure and privacy preserving data exchanges between NMDs, utilising techniques such as blockchain, differential privacy and encryption c) behavioural anomaly detection, utilising a cybersecurity analytics framework coupled with machine learning techniques and hardware acceleration for increased performance and d) NMD vulnerability assessment.
