TESTUDO project has become a member of European Cluster for Securing Critical Infrastructures. The main objective of the cluster is to create synergies and foster emerging disruptive solutions to security issues via cross-projects collaboration and innovation.
TESTUDO project will bring great synergies to the activities of the ECSCI by contributing to the main objective of the cluster via cross-projects collaboration in terms of communication and dissemination activities as well as by exploring possibilities for scientific and technical cooperation.

In the context of WP3, particularly for identifying risk-based use cases to validate the TESTUDO solution, on 31 Januray and 1 February 2024 teams from PROSEGUR and SATWAYS conducted site visits to EYDAP‘s facilities for gathering firsthand insights as far as critical facilities, processes, and legacy systems are concerned.

With the valuable assistance of EYDAP’s personnel, PROSEGUR and SATWAYS inspected assets in the Attica region being engaged in discussions with key personnel to understand operational processes and protocols. Through semi-structured interviews, accurate and current information was gathered, supporting the elaboration of the risk assessment report (delivered as part of the WP in discussion) as well as  use case scenario definition.

Provided the above, these activities form an integral part of WP3 deliverables and provide essential background knowledge for technical partners in tailoring the TESTUDO solution to meet actual needs of critical infrastructure operators.

On 10th-11th October 2023 the beautiful city of Thessaloniki held the project’s Kick-off meeting, hosted by the project coordinator CERTH. It was an occasion to meet each partner in person and set the starting point for the project. The consortium composed of 20 partners met for the first time to discuss in detail the scope of work in the project, the division of tasks between individual partners and the plan of their implementation for the next months. The KOM was attended by the Project Officer Ms. Doris Neumann from the Research Executive Agency and the representative of DG HOME Mr. Felix Combreau.
