ABSTRACT
This 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 Internet of Things (IoT) aims to leverage network capabilities of devices and smart objects, integrating the sensing and actuation features to create pervasive information systems, which are used as baseline to provide smart services to the industry and citizens. The heterogeneous, distributed and dynamically evolving nature of CPS based on IoT and virtualised cloud architectures introduces new and unexpected risks that can be only partially solved by current state-of-the-art security solutions. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework identifies five steps for the protection of critical infrastructures: Identification, protection, detection, response and recovering.
