MITIGATE

Description

MITIGATE will realize a radical shift in risk management methodologies for the maritime sector towards a collaborative evidence-driven Maritime Supply Chain Risk Assessment (g-MSCRA) approach that alleviates the limitations of state-of-the-art risk management frameworks. To this end, the project will integrate, validate and commercially exploit an effective, collaborative, standards-based risk management (RM) system for port’s critical information infrastructures (CIIs), which shall consider all threats arising from the global supply chain, including threats associated with portCIIs interdependencies and associated cascading effects.

The MITIGATE system will enable port and other maritime supply chain participants’ operators to manage their security in a holistic, integrated and cost-effective manner, while at the same time producing and sharing knowledge associated with the identification, assessment and quantification of cascading effects from the global ports’ supply chain. In this way, they will be able to predict potential security incidents, but also to mitigate and minimize the consequences of divergent security threats and their cascading effects in the most cost-effective way, i.e. based on evidence associated with simulation scenarios and security assurance models.
