IMPORTANT: green light for the amendment
by fulvio.frati＠unimi.it 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Dear all, I have received the green light from the PO to proceed with the amendment. I will prepare a draft with all the changes we have to put in it and I would like to approve it in a general meeting to be held next Tuesday (December the 5th) at 1PM CET, using the common slot of WP2-4. Furthermore, she will grant us also an extension of 6 additional months. It is important that all partners will participate, because she granted me a quick process if we also are quick. In this call I add also representatives of the new partners Trinomial and Ethical AI. Please Nikos extend to them the call invitation. The major points of discussion are the ones you found in the email I sent you on Monday (below). Lets keep on moving! Fulvio From: fulvio.frati(a)unimi.it <fulvio.frati(a)unimi.it> Sent: Monday, November 27, 2023 10:30 AM To: 'aeras(a)di.unimi.it' <aeras(a)di.unimi.it> Subject: update on PMs reshuffling Dear all, I would like to update you on the status of the amendment we should ask to move ahead and reshuffle PMs among partners (thus keeping alive the project). As I told you, we contacted Mazaryn University since they were the perfect candidate for our project being the developers of the CONCORDIA cyber rage (KYPO). Even if they were interested at the first calls, they rejected after speaking with their managers (this took a week to have a reply from them). The MSCAs approach hardly fits with their staff, they are more keen to research projects that do not involve secondments. We found the availability of two organizations from Cyprus to join the Consortium: Ethical AI (Academic) and Trinomial (non-academic). They can commit 5 ESRs for 12 months each. They are good in web technologies and cybersecurity and they seem very good candidates. We also thought how to organize the work. We think that focusing the work on pilots sites (PAGNI and UPAT) will be the best solution to reach our objectives. Furthermore, CUT is available to perform 12 additional PMs. Both Trinomial and Ethical AI have valid PIC and they are already aware of MSCA-RISE program (they already participated/are participating to it). The possible reshuffle could be the following. * All 48 PMs will be moved from TSI to Ethical AI * 48 PMs will be moved from STS-CY to Trinomial * 12 PM will be moved from UMIL to CUT * 12 PM will be moved from UMIL to Ethical AI * 12 PMs will be moved from PAGNI to Trinomial * UMIL will have its budget reduced from 48 to 24 PMs * STS-Cy will have its budget reduced from 60 to 12 PMs (already reported 3.53 PMs from Nikitakis secondment) * PAGNI will have its budget reduced from 48 to 36 * CUT will raise its budget from 48 to 60 PMs * TSI will leave the Consortium and all its budget will be returned The following table will summarize the new consortium current amendment UNIMI 48 24 CUT 48 60 12 from UMIL STS 60 12 AEGIS 24 24 PAGNI 48 36 UPAT 36 36 ETH AI - 60 48 from TSI + 12 from UMIL Trinomial - 60 48 from STS + 12 from PAGNI TSI 48 - 312 312 Being both Trinomial and Ethical AI both from Cyprus, we can reorganize the secondments assigning all of them to the pilots sites in Greece: Ethical AI to PAGNI and Trinomial to UPAT. To balance, UPAT secondments that were planned to STS-CY can be moved to AEGIS, and my final secondment planned to PAGNI can be moved to Trinomial in 2025. In the amendment we will also ask an extension of WPs and deliverables submission dates. The uncertainties of the last months froze the work, since the work on models is mostly dependent on the choose of the cyber range infrastructure to incorporate. If possible, we will ask a further extension of 6 months, that could be beneficial to the project, if MSCA regulations allow it. I have already contacted the PO. As soon as I have a reply form her, we can organize a call where summarizing all the change to put in the amendment.

Free assistance is available from our resources page: https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/campaigns/english-language-fo… REVIEWER REPORTS Reviewer Comments: Reviewer 1 ++++ Thorough needs analysis: The paper conducts a comprehensive needs analysis in the healthcare sector by using surveys and interviews. This approach provides a rich and insightful dataset, which serves as a solid foundation for the development of the AERAS project. Clear and well-structured presentation: The paper is well-organized and effectively conveys its content. The architecture of the AERAS platform is presented logically, making it easy for readers to understand the proposed approach. Adherence to ethical standards: The paper explicitly addresses ethical considerations, such as obtaining participants' consent and ensuring data privacy. This demonstrates a commitment to conducting research with integrity. Implications for cybersecurity training: The study's findings have significant implications for the development of effective cybersecurity training programs in the healthcare sector. It highlights the need for tailored training that is practical and adaptable to individual organizations' requirements. ---- Platform implementation: The paper presents a comprehensive architecture for the AERAS platform, but it lacks discussion about the actual implementation of this platform. Readers might be interested in understanding the technical challenges, practical considerations, and potential barriers to implementing such a complex system. Some insights into the technical feasibility of the proposed architecture would be valuable. Attachments: • https://reviewer-feedback.springernature.com/download/attachment/ba5b89c0-7… Reviewer 2 Overall, the paper is well written and the components comprising the overall architecture are described. The paper requires some language fixes and some figures could be improved (e.g., Fig5) While the authors describe the proposed architecture, they could emphasize more on the novelties provided for the Healthcare sector specifically (i.e., the key points that render this cyber range architecture superior to the existing ones for this application).
