DRACOS

CyberSecDome has received funding from the Horizon Europe Framework Programme (2021–2027) and is a visionary project that combines artificial intelligence and virtual reality to revolutionize cybersecurity. The project’s mission is to predict and efficiently respond to cybersecurity threats, safeguarding digital infrastructure. By focusing on situational awareness, CyberSecDome provides real-time insights into incidents and risks, fostering collaborative responses among stakeholders. Privacy-aware information sharing further enhances the project’s overall impact.

As part of the CyberSecDome initiative, two Open Calls were launched to engage cross-sector and cross-border third parties, accelerating the integration of advanced security solutions into digital systems and infrastructures. Through this initiative, CyberSecDome aims to enhance trust, security, and resilience across ICT products, services, and processes within the digital ecosystem.

The DRACOS project

The DRACOS project was approved under the 2nd CyberSecDome Open Call, starting in December 2025. DRACOS is a proposal designed to test CyberSecDome’s innovative cybersecurity solutions within an integrated service that combines a market-ready guard patrolling platform (QR-Patrol) provided by TERRACOM and an AI-assisted drone patrol solution offered by HOVERAP.

Through this service, named DRACOS AI Drone Patrolling, security guards patrolling the premises of Critical Infrastructures can use drones to inspect remote and/or difficult-to-access areas. The captured video is transmitted live to HOVERAP’s platform, where an AI-based object recognition algorithm identifies suspicious items and dynamically updates the guards’ patrolling routes. The video feed is also made available to the security control room of the Critical Infrastructure via HOVERAP’s platform.

Given its critical nature—providing real-time information related to physical security—this service requires robust cybersecurity measures and continuous threat assessment. Within the DRACOS project, we aim to leverage CyberSecDome’s AI-based threat detection, dynamic risk assessment, VR-based situational awareness, and collaborative threat intelligence tools and modules to establish a proactive security approach. This will enable early detection of potential cyber breaches and ensure the integrity and continuity of patrolling operations.

DRACOS will be implemented by two partners from Greece with extensive expertise in security and cybersecurity. The project’s activities will be completed within a duration of eight (8) months.
