The H2020 project SAFURE targets the design of cyber-physical systems by implementing a methodology that ensures safety and security "by construction". This methodology is enabled by a framework developed to extend system capabilities so as to control the concurrent effects of security threats on the system behaviour.

The goals of the SAFURE project are

• to implement a holistic approach to safety and security of embedded dependable systems, preventing and detecting potential attacks,
• to empower designers and developers with analysis methods, development tools and execution capabilities that jointly consider security and safety, and
• to set the ground for the development of SAFURE-compliant mixed-critical embedded products.

The SAFURE consortium brings together a team of recognized partners in the fields of industry and research in combination with an innovation-oriented SME what makes it suitable to achieve the project’s objectives. These 12 SAFURE partners are spread over 6 European countries and comprise basic research and service design with applied research and end-user oriented service. The complementarities of the partners’ expertise aim at creating value for individual enterprises and institutions and their value chains. To be more precise, SAFURE will help European suppliers of safety-critical embedded products to develop more cost and energy-aware solutions.
