Mar 11, 2019 | SHIELD cybersecurity agency pilot with CESICAT

The cybersecurity agency pilot of SHIELD has been carried out on 11 March 2019 by the i2CAT Foundation for CESICAT, the centre for Cybersecurity of the Catalan Government, in charge of the private network and applications of the Government. Several feedback was produced during the presentations, the piloting and the discussion. Firstly, CESICAT thinks that the trusted computing of SHIELD is quite impressive and that it would be a great addition to consider also the 0-trusted concept in the solution. Secondly, they pointed on the importance to create operator specific use-cases to show all the potential of SHIELD. Moreover, it would be important to define SHIELD as an automatization solution for automatization engineers. Finally, regarding the dashboard for CERTS, they pointed out the importance of having some risk analysis metrics that would be very useful for security managers (which are actually risk managers).
