Most of cyberattacks, leakage of information and intentional failures, happen to be in a local network, where Firewall and perimeter security systems have neither knowledge nor ability to act.

The project aims to develop control network systems equipped with collective intelligence. These systems should be able to collaborate among them in a federated way, sharing information and regular network behaviour models. This will make a network constituted not by simple network hubs, but by a series of federated security agents capable of understanding and communicating anomalies, acting locally or globally to recover problems, and immediate report to the rest of security equipment.
