The ambition of the NATWORK project is to set the foundations and deploy the very first economically realistic, energy efficient and viable bio-inspired AI-based 6G cybersecurity and resilience framework for intelligent networking and services, taking a holistic approach and considering all elements in a cross-sector business environment to address the diverse requirements and challenges that arise. The NATWORK project aims to develop a novel AI-leveraged self-adaptive security mechanism for 6G networks based on resilient bio- mimicry principles. The goal is to improve the malleability and the self-resilience of future 6G network ecosystems to offer augmented and secure services at the lowest energy costs. The principle premise is to empower various entities of 6G ecosystems with the ability to self-regulate their conditions to provide service continuity in compliance with service SLAs.

IS-Wireless develops Fluid Radio Security (FRS), a lightweight Intrusion Detection System that may move among all the modules of the Radio Access Network and identify the anomalies in traffic arriving to the RAN. The FRS agents work autonomously but their capacity is governed by an Artificial Intelligence, which balances security and performance, while maintaining always a minimum threshold of security protection (network protection). FRS will introduce defense-in-depth thanks to the double effect of the detection in the agents and the correlation of the alerts from different agents. The FRS agents will work autonomously across different modules of the Radio Access Network and identify the anomalies in traffic arriving to the RAN thus increasing the attack detection rate.
