The HARPOCRATES project brings together local authorities from Aragon (Spain) and Veneto (Italy), supported by cybersecurity experts S2 Grupo, to create a secure and privacy-preserving threat intelligence sharing platform. This collaboration focuses on improving cybersecurity through advanced data-sharing methods while ensuring data privacy.
Why It Matters:
Local governments manage critical services like healthcare, education, and social welfare, making them key targets for cyber threats. Traditional data-sharing methods often lack the privacy protections needed for secure collaboration. The HARPOCRATES framework solves this by enabling safe and efficient data exchange.
How It Works:
Using anonymized data, the platform trains machine learning models for threat detection while preserving privacy. Its development includes building datasets, designing the platform, training models, and thorough testing to ensure effectiveness.
Looking Ahead:
The partnership between Aragon and Veneto is just the beginning. This approach can expand across Europe, helping governments and organizations work together securely while protecting sensitive data.
