This $250,000 federal Project Grant awarded on October 1, 2024 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617) will enable Norwich University Applied Research Institutes LTD (Nuari) to develop an advanced cybersecurity architecture to fortify the security of small-medium manufacturers' industrial control systems. The initiative aims to preemptively detect vulnerabilities and potential threats before they impact the physical manufacturing process. Nuari will collaborate with academic and commercial partners to devise this cyber architecture, which will model control commands and virtually replicate physical processes to enable predictive measures against cyber-attacks. Key expected outcomes include enhancing real-time cyberattack detection capabilities, implementing secure data analysis mechanisms, and validating the architecture's effectiveness through rigorous testing in simulated and real-world manufacturing environments.
