On 16 January, a team from the European Commission visited Titanium Industrial Security (“Titanium”) in Madrid to see first-hand projects demonstrating how NextGenerationEU funds support the cyber security industry.
Titanium was founded in 2016 in San Sebastian to provide services and advice to industrial companies in the field of cybersecurity. It is headquartered in San Sebastian and has offices in Madrid and León, currently employing 46 people.
Titanium’s work focuses on establishing and maintaining the cybersecurity of industrial processes, with an initial diagnosis followed by the establishment of a protection system and its maintenance, to protect these processes from cyber-attacks.
The Titanium team presented the three projects receiving NextGenerationEU funding through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. The three projects consist of developing specific tools for three industry sectors:
- HELION Project: The objective is to develop a cybersecurity solution based on the generation and deployment of various Artificial Intelligence algorithms focused on essential operators and critical infrastructures in the energy sector.
- FACTRA Project: Aimed at manufacturing processes, seeking that the operation of Cybersecurity Operations Centres focused on industrial environments improve the detection and correction of risks by being as autonomous as possible to ensure the uninterrupted operation of factories.
- KHEMIS Project: Consists of a cybersecurity solution based on the generation and deployment of several Artificial Intelligence algorithms, and aimed at streamlining the operations of Cybersecurity Operations Centres focused on essential operators and critical infrastructures in the chemical sector.
These three industries have different industrial processes and require solutions tailored to their specific needs, regulations and vulnerabilities.
As part of the visit, the Titanium team also shared the challenges faced by companies in Spain and Europe since its foundation, with particular emphasis on the need to train, attract and retain talent.
Cybersecurity is a key area for the European Commission from an economic and strategic security point of view, and Titanium has a key role to play in this. The Helion, Factra and Khemis projects are not only relevant from a business point of view, but also to ensure the secure functioning of European industry.
These projects are part of investment 7 of component 15 of the Spanish Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and are being supported with approximately EUR 4.5 million of NGEU funds.
