The non-technical part of the project investigates the innovation-friendly public procurement techniques and develops recommendations on how other utilities can best benefit from the telecom operators' experience.
The outcomes are focused on:
Analysis of the procurement models used by telecommunications operators.
Adaptation of the overall public procurement procedures.
Formulation of policy recommendations for innovation-friendly procurement.
The technical part demonstrates a state-of-the-art secure high-performance system for rapid information propagation on incidents of fraud in procurement and associated telecommunications security related threats. The system is "hacker-proof", because it may be the first target of criminals, who want to continue their activities without letting telecom operators know that the same fraud or attack has already been used (and perhaps successfully resolved) in another European country. The criminals may also want to know how telecom operators are defending themselves against specific fraud types and network attacks.
The system will be used by ETNO members and is expected to be designed in such a way that it can provide a future-proof platform adaptable to future threats.
The results comprise:
Assessment of the system's technical architecture requirements.
Development of a demonstration prototype.
Intrusion testing and evaluation.
