The IMDEA Software Institute has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the area of Public-Private Cooperation by the madri+d Foundation, for its cooperation with the Italian industrial group Reply and Dutch TNO on cyber attack detector engineering and its commercial exploitation.

This collaboration was supported in part by Cadence, an EIT ICT Labs innovation activity in the area of privacy, security, and trust, started in 2014, in which the IMDEA Software Institute, TNO, and Reply are applying novel anomaly detection technologies to the creation of specific innovative products and services for providing more secure ICT environments for both governments and businesses.

This Honorable Mention was awarded by the madri+d Prizes jury in the tenth annual edition of these awards, which recognize significant scientific and technological advances in solving industrial and societal challenges, the capacity for converting research projects and results into wealth and welfare in the Madrid Region, excellence in implementing collaborative research and development activities on the European level, and the generation and dissemination of knowledge.
