SONIC aims to deliver innovative technologies to address complex security challenges across diverse infrastructures. By introducing cutting-edge solutions, SONIC enhances Cyber Threat Intelligence, Continuous Monitoring, Incident Response, Vulnerability Management, Malware Analysis, Post-Incident Investigation, and Privacy-Preserving Analytics, ensuring improved scalability, performance, and accuracy through leveraging key technologies. SONIC’s vision for infrastructure monitoring integrates advanced strategies with Cyber Threat Intelligence to continuously assess and validate network communications, component behavior, and interactions while proactively responding to malicious activities. A state-of-the-art penetration testing service will evaluate infrastructures for known vulnerabilities and employ fuzzing techniques to discover unknown weaknesses. ML based source code classifiers and LLM self-healing techniques will further minimize exploitable vulnerabilities. For malware analysis, SONIC introduces an evaluation environment to detect malicious behavior in applications. Post-incident investigation is streamlined through a cutting-edge Forensic Visualization Toolkit, providing intuitive visualizations for a holistic view of incidents, enabling faster and more effective investigations. Additionally, SONIC offers a dedicated solution that integrates with SIEM, SOAR, and CTI platforms, leveraging privacy-preserving homomorphic cryptography for secure data utilization. Designed for seamless integration, all SONIC tools and services will be portable and easy to deploy, making them an ideal choice for enhancing cyber resilience in modern infrastructures. These solutions will be available via an intelligent marketplace that streamlines cybersecurity tool selection through explainable AI recommendations, ensuring compliance with EU security regulations, strengthening SOC technologies and fostering collaboration within the EU cybersecurity scene.
