DICYME Project

The Goal

The main objective of  DICYME is to design and build a solution to the current problem of modeling cyber risk in industrial infrastructures. The aim is to develop a system that, based on evidence obtained from different data sources, can make dynamic measurements or estimates of the probability and impact of the different cyber incidents that could occur. Once these measures or estimates allow modeling the cyber risk, the visualization of the results obtained will be complete, updated, and understandable, so that it will be possible to support decision-making.

DICYME is a public-private collaboration project to research about the automation of cyber risk quantification and management, granted with 1,096,669 €. The grant is part of the Spanish State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023, financed by the European Union's NextGenerationEU Plan.

Mr. Jose Seara, DeNexus Founder & CEO said: “We are thrilled to work with the university Rey Juan Carlos again, and we are honored to have been granted funds from the European Union NextGenerationEU Plan. This will allow the combined DeNexus-URJC team to research additional sources of evidence-based cyber data for our DeRISK platform, the leading second-generation cyber risk quantification and management platform for industrial corporates and critical infrastructure owners and operators.”

Ms. Marta Beltrán Pardo, Associate Professor at URJC said: "We are very excited because this grant ensures that we will be able to expand the research we were conducting for DeNexus regarding the automation of cyber risk quantification and management. For us, the transfer of our research results to the industry is a priority, and this public-private collaboration will allow us to do so over the next three years with a highly respected partner."
