Within Work Package 2, TEMERON leads two of the platform’s core components and delivers its final product.
Risk Management Toolbox – a risk engine correlating cyber threat intelligence, vulnerability data and behavioural analytics into sector-aware risk scores for critical-infrastructure operators.
Threat & Risk Visualization Dashboard – turns those assessments into clear, actionable views for the analysts and operators who rely on them.
Final, market-ready product – responsible for delivering the final release of CIPHER’s Cyber-Risk and Threat Assessment product.
Beyond these, TEMERON contributes to threat-intelligence ingestion, automated vulnerability assessment, AI-driven threat classification, and integration into the unified CIPHER platform and its portal — helping essential-service providers in water, logistics and telecommunications move from static, after-the-fact reporting toward continuous, intelligence-driven risk management.
