The centerpiece of the project is a state-of-the-art SOC (Security Operation Center) that uses native Artificial Intelligence and "digital twins" to simulate cyberattacks on critical infrastructures (hospitals, energy networks and industrial plants) in a controlled manner.

Key features of the new center:

Talent Development: Practical training for professionals, connecting the academic and business worlds.

Digital Sovereignty: Ensures that data, support and infrastructure are managed locally, reducing dependence on third countries.

AI and Automation: Implementation of the Smart MDR AI-SOC Agent solution to proactively and autonomously detect and respond to incidents.

Public-Private Collaboration: Strategic alliances with Catalonia's research and defense ecosystem to position the region as an international cybersecurity hub.
