Further development of OpenSecurity

The consortium plans to bring OpenSecurity as a product to the market. In addition the consortium plans to develop the prototype further on a European level by involving international experts, research institutes, and companies. In an EU-project the consortium hopes to extend the current network and to bring the subject matter closer to Big Data. The aim is to strengthen Europe’s competence in security related areas and to create a Europe-wide unified standard. In this manner, public authorities and institutions managing sensitive private data should be able to secure maximum protection.

The project partners AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH and X-Net Services GmbH will pursue OpenSecurity in terms of cooperation and bring it to the market as a product. To this end the prototype will be adapted to the needs of the stakeholders (i.e. public institutions and commercial large scale enterprises).

Thanks to the complementary strengths of the project partners AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH and X-Net Services GmbH, further development of OpenSecurity in terms of a cooperation model is an ideal basis for the success of the Open Source based solution.
