Cross-organizational cyber risk assessments are the cornerstone of an effective implementation of national cyber security strategies. Only those nation states who know the overall key risks to critical infrastructures and main weaknesses of providers of essential services, can anticipate future cyber security problems and appropriately plan for counter measures. Therefore, the aim of the project CRISCROSS [L1] is to come up with a design and proof-of-concept prototype that enables efficient distributed risk assessments within critical organizations, the timely reporting of findings via an intuitive web platform to the authorities, and the harmonization, aggregation and interpretation of received data at the national level.

Through its unit Integrated Technologies for Quality of Living [L1], CNR-ISTI is a partner of a soon-to-commence project, UNIversalhoUSING. Its purpose is to establish a set of design guidelines for near-zero-emission buildings strictly integrated with their technological facilities, to ensure full compliance with both the existing norms and to meet the needs of inhabitants of different demographics, such as single people, young couples, families with children, and elderly people. A demonstration building will be designed and built on the CNR premises in Pisa, Italy.
