en.Wedoany.com Reported - 19 companies and research institutions have jointly launched the SHIELD-6G project, aiming to develop an AI-based real-time threat detection and defense platform for future 6G networks. The project involves institutions such as Telefónica, Ericsson, and Nokia, is coordinated by University College Dublin, and is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe program.

SHIELD-6G (Scalable, Hybrid, and Intelligent End-to-End Defense for 6G Networks) brings together 19 partners from 10 European countries, including universities, research centers, telecom operators, technology providers, and SMEs. The project aims to address security challenges in 6G infrastructure, which will support critical applications such as connected healthcare, autonomous industrial processes, smart manufacturing, and maritime communications. The core of the project is to develop a Cyber Threat Intelligence platform native to 6G. This solution will leverage AI to identify known and novel threats, including zero-day attacks, and automate incident response to reduce processing time.

Research efforts will cover AI-based threat detection, federated machine learning for data privacy protection, security testing using digital twins, and the development of Explainable AI (XAI). Project outcomes will be validated in scenarios related to healthcare, industry, and maritime communications. The project will last 36 months. In addition to developing security solutions, the project will support the standardization process of 6G technology and is part of a broader EU initiative encompassing 20 research projects aimed at enhancing Europe's technological sovereignty and its position in the development of next-generation networks. The SHIELD‑6G project is funded by the European Union through the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) under the Horizon Europe program.
