Direct Benefit from IMPETUS Tools

This section describes direct benefit from IMEPTUS tools, along with a short description for context. A mote complete description of the tools can be found here: Main Functions of (IMPETUS) Tools

 

Bacteria Detector

Short description of BD

Continuously monitors air samples to detect abnormally high concentrations of airborne
bacteria.

Benefits

BD offers the opportunity to collect specific and reliable information about bacteria presence and concentration at locations of interest, including public spaces.

 

Cyber Threat Intelligence

Short description of CTI

Detects, classifies and helps mitigate cyberspace threats to an organisation’s IT assets.

Benefits

CTI offers the opportunity to receive information and be alerted about potential cyber attacks. Moreover, the tool offers to opportunity to analyse incidents, be offered guidance on vulnerable targets, and assess the effects of defensive actions.

 

Cyber Threat Detection and Response

Short description of CTDR

Detects cyber vulnerabilities in IT Systems: raises alerts and suggests countermeasures if they arise.

Benefits

  • Users can scan complex systems to identify all vulnerabilities and their relationships

  • Users can monitor systems in real-time and receive an alert on the IMPETUS platform when a vulnerability has been exploited

  • Countermeasures can be prioritized based on the criticality of the threat

 

Workload Monitoring System

Short description of WMS

Measures mental workload and stress of emergency operators using a brain-computer interface, raises alerts if anomalies arise.

Benefits

This tool minimizes potential human error and improves human–machine teaming performance by monitoring the physical, emotional and mental workload status of operators while they perform their duties. It provides an early notification of an individual and/or a team’s workload capability and ability to cope with stressors during emergencies.

 

 Urban Anomaly Detector

Short description of UAD

Continuously monitors data gathered from multiple city sensors and detects cases deviating from the norm - indicating possible cause for concern.

Benefits

The SOC operators will be able to better identify anomalous situations in crowd behaviour in public spaces.

 

Evacuation Optimiser

Short description of EO

Provides instant advice to emergency staff on how to effectively manage an evacuation, based on simulations of different evacuation scenarios.

Benefits

Pre-optimises and supports the management of controlled crowd movement in public spaces in complex events, to prevent any injury and/or loss of life, e.g. in an emergency evacuation. Provides an accurate calculation of total evacuation time and risk to emergency operators.

 

Social Media Detection

Short description of SMD

Scans large volumes of text on social media and other public online sites, looking for topics/keywords that might indicate potential trouble or threats.

Benefits

The SMD tool enables near online detection and alerts related to upcoming, unwanted events in the public spaces.

 

Firearm Detector

Short description of FD

Continuously monitors surveillance camera feeds and automatically creates an alert if a firearm is detected in a public space.

Benefits

Improves the physical security of open spaces by reducing the response time to detect firearms, thereby reducing the risk of loss of life.
