B3S

Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under agreement POIR.04.01.04-00-0010/17
Title: “Integrated platform supporting service delivery and security management for local telecommunications providers.”

PROJECT OBJECTIVE:
The objective of the project is to develop a security management system integrated with a Business/Operations Support System (B/OSS) dedicated to small or medium-sized telecommunications enterprises. The system will include risk management components at the following levels:

• static – periodic risk analysis in the operational environment and adaptation of the security system to changes occurring in that environment;
• dynamic – real-time risk analysis, event response, and security system adjustment.

The system will also enable alerting and information exchange with other entities, including superior security centers (such as CSIRTs – Computer Security Incident Response Teams and CERTs – Computer Emergency Response Teams) and collaboration with the National Electronic Identification Node. Achieving the project objective requires conducting research and development to define and validate the developed components and interfaces in detail and ensure compliance with new EU regulations (General Data Protection Regulation, NIS – Network and Information Systems Directive 2016/1148, eIDAS – Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market) as well as Poland’s Cybersecurity Strategy.

PLANNED EFFECT:
The results of the R&D work and the product developed from it will primarily support companies in the small and medium-sized enterprise sector within the domestic telecommunications operator market. The Consortium aims to create a product based on the research results that meets the needs of local telecommunications operators and is commercially viable. The outcomes of the project’s planned activities will be disseminated mainly on a national scale, with expansion also considered in foreign markets, including Eastern European countries.
The B3S system will be distributed in three models:

• traditional individual model (installed for a single operator serving over 10,000 subscribers),
• traditional multi-entity model (installed for multiple operators serving up to 10,000 subscribers),
• service-based SaaS model (Service as a Service – installed for multiple operators serving both up to 10,000 subscribers and over).

As a result of the research work, areas related to system usability in each model will be identified and refined, as they may prove crucial for the client’s decision in selecting a specific solution.
