The objective of the UnderServed Project is to develop a platform for reporting and analysing threats, intended for sectors that are vulnerable to cyberattacks yet lack the resources to mitigate them effectively. These sectors do not fall under EU critical infrastructure funding priorities, but are providing critical services to vulnerable sections of society. While the project's focus will be on the humanitarian sector, the solution's design will prioritise adaptability, allowing its potential application in other sectors or countries in the future. The platform will be based on the open source MeliCERTes platform, originally developed under the framework of the Connecting Europe Facilities – Cybersecurity Digital Service Infrastructure — SMART 2015/1089 initiative. UnderServed will combine state of the art technology and best practices to develop a customised back-end system. This system will automate file analysis and produce comprehensive threat reports for dissemination within the community at risk and to law enforcement agencies.
