Cyber threats are evolving, demanding innovative solutions to safeguard our digital ecosystems. The SafeHorizon project is at the forefront of this fight, offering cutting-edge tools tailored to the needs of Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), and Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs).
SafeHorizon’s core mission is to provide a robust toolbox comprising both under-development and improved open-source solutions that are simple to plug-and-play, maintain, and adapt. By harnessing intelligence gathered from the clear web, deep web, dark web, public dumps, and leaks, SafeHorizon utilises machine learning (ML) to identify correlations and extract actionable evidence, empowering LEAs with tools that could stand scrutiny in court.
More than just data crawling, SafeHorizon actively searches for leaks on illegal services and platforms, enabling LEAs to trace and dismantle cybercriminal networks. Its toolkit is modular, interoperable, and user-friendly, available as Docker containers, alongside a monitoring platform integrating tool outputs. A correlation engine identifies links within vast datasets, delivering actionable insights. Datasets and notebooks are shared with vetted organisations to streamline adoption and enhance impact.
KEMEA plays a pivotal role in defining the system and end-user requirements for SafeHorizon, focusing on functional and non-functional needs, use case scenarios, and platform architecture. By engaging stakeholders, KEMEA ensures that SafeHorizon meets operational demands while pushing critical research questions in the development phase.
SafeHorizon is setting the stage for a safer digital world, not just defending against cybercrime but actively disrupting it. As the project unfolds, it offers transformative potential for cybersecurity innovation and resilience across Europe.
