Key Innovations in ANASTACIA: Advanced Networked Agents for Security and Trust Assessment in CPS/IOT Architectures

This book chapter presents the main key innovations being devised, implemented and validated in the scope of Anastacia H2020 EU research project, to meet the cybersecurity challenge of protecting dynamically heterogenous IoT scenarios, endowed with SDN/NFV capabilities, which face evolving kind of cyber-attacks. The key innovations encompasses, among others, policy-based security management in IoT networks, trusted and dynamic security orchestration of virtual networks security functions using SDN/NFV technologies, security monitoring and cognitive reaction to countering cyber-treats, behavioural analysis, anomaly detection and automated testing for the detection of known and unknown vulnerabilities in both physical and virtual environments as well as secured and authenticated dynamic seal system as a service.
