00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080
The International Chair of Smart Rural

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,240
IoT and Secured Environments brings

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,680
together activities such as the

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,120
collection of information, analysis, and

5
00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:10,320
active dissemination, under different

6
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,160
approaches, of the documentation

7
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,640
accumulated in research, technologies,

8
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,400
and disciplines that use artificial

9
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,720
intelligence in the field of IoT, where

10
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,240
it also provides training in

11
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:21,120
cybersecurity.

12
00:00:21,881 --> 00:00:24,361
The development of the Internet of Things

13
00:00:24,601 --> 00:00:26,481
has facilitated the connection between

14
00:00:26,481 --> 00:00:29,361
the real world and the digital world. The

15
00:00:29,361 --> 00:00:31,441
sensing of information and the ability to

16
00:00:31,441 --> 00:00:33,441
act on the physical world has enabled the

17
00:00:33,441 --> 00:00:35,481
creation of a smart ecosystem that is

18
00:00:35,481 --> 00:00:37,681
being used to improve essential aspects

19
00:00:37,681 --> 00:00:40,201
of production, distribution and resource

20
00:00:40,201 --> 00:00:42,761
generation systems, energy, food,

21
00:00:42,841 --> 00:00:44,121
environment, etc.

22
00:00:45,252 --> 00:00:47,852
However, as is the case when a technology

23
00:00:47,852 --> 00:00:49,892
breaks into industrial and residential

24
00:00:49,892 --> 00:00:52,492
systems in such a direct way, the very

25
00:00:52,492 --> 00:00:54,452
benefits they provide make these IoT

26
00:00:54,452 --> 00:00:56,052
systems a coveted target for

27
00:00:56,052 --> 00:00:58,372
cybercriminals. The cyber threats are

28
00:00:58,372 --> 00:01:00,252
many and in common with those already

29
00:01:00,252 --> 00:01:02,452
defined for traditional server and/or

30
00:01:02,452 --> 00:01:04,652
computer environments. In the specific

31
00:01:04,652 --> 00:01:06,932
case of IoT, it is not only the

32
00:01:06,932 --> 00:01:08,852
securitization of the IoT devices

33
00:01:08,852 --> 00:01:10,572
themselves that needs to be taken into

34
00:01:10,572 --> 00:01:12,612
account, but also the transmission of

35
00:01:12,612 --> 00:01:15,412
information and data exchanged with IoT

36
00:01:15,412 --> 00:01:17,812
device fleet management systems. This

37
00:01:17,812 --> 00:01:19,292
makes the exposure surface of these

38
00:01:19,292 --> 00:01:21,732
systems very large and their dispersion

39
00:01:21,732 --> 00:01:23,732
also complicates the ability to correct

40
00:01:23,732 --> 00:01:26,532
problems, e.g. firmware updates or device

41
00:01:26,532 --> 00:01:27,572
anomaly issues.

42
00:01:28,903 --> 00:01:31,343
When considering urban environments, this

43
00:01:31,343 --> 00:01:34,063
deployment of IoT devices is associated

44
00:01:34,063 --> 00:01:36,783
with the concept of Smart Cities. For the

45
00:01:36,783 --> 00:01:39,663
smart management of certain areas: waste

46
00:01:39,663 --> 00:01:42,143
management, air quality monitoring, noise

47
00:01:42,143 --> 00:01:44,543
pollution monitoring, traffic congestion,

48
00:01:44,863 --> 00:01:47,583
energy consumption, automated parking,

49
00:01:47,903 --> 00:01:50,463
automatic lighting, among others. There

50
00:01:50,463 --> 00:01:52,263
are many projects and research in the

51
00:01:52,263 --> 00:01:54,543
field of smart cities and cybersecurity

52
00:01:54,543 --> 00:01:56,263
that cover different aspects of threat

53
00:01:56,263 --> 00:01:58,223
mechanisms and threat detection

54
00:01:58,223 --> 00:01:58,783
approaches.

55
00:01:59,655 --> 00:02:02,015
However, none of these projects cover the

56
00:02:02,015 --> 00:02:04,295
environment associated with rural areas,

57
00:02:04,455 --> 00:02:06,775
Smart Rural Areas, hereafter SRA.

58
00:02:07,415 --> 00:02:09,455
SRA is sometimes used as a term

59
00:02:09,455 --> 00:02:11,815
associated with smart villages, although

60
00:02:11,815 --> 00:02:14,095
the scope of SRA is much broader than

61
00:02:14,095 --> 00:02:16,175
this. The boundary conditions for the

62
00:02:16,175 --> 00:02:17,975
deployment of IoT systems are

63
00:02:17,975 --> 00:02:19,655
specifically different and apply to

64
00:02:19,655 --> 00:02:21,935
domains such as smart health, smart

65
00:02:21,935 --> 00:02:23,975
education, digital infrastructure

66
00:02:23,975 --> 00:02:25,895
development in villages, community

67
00:02:25,895 --> 00:02:27,735
infrastructure development, efficient

68
00:02:27,735 --> 00:02:30,615
energy management,precision, agriculture,

69
00:02:30,615 --> 00:02:33,095
or rural heritage conservation. In this

70
00:02:33,095 --> 00:02:35,295
case, projects integrating IoT

71
00:02:35,295 --> 00:02:36,775
infrastructure protection in these

72
00:02:36,775 --> 00:02:39,255
domains are very restricted to efficient

73
00:02:39,255 --> 00:02:41,735
energy management, smart grids of rural

74
00:02:41,735 --> 00:02:44,535
areas. This is the reason for focusing

75
00:02:44,535 --> 00:02:46,135
the proposal on the analysis of the

76
00:02:46,135 --> 00:02:48,775
security and privacy of IoT systems in

77
00:02:48,775 --> 00:02:50,975
rural environments and the capacity to

78
00:02:50,975 --> 00:02:52,855
respond to cyber incidents in these

79
00:02:52,855 --> 00:02:53,655
environments.

80
00:02:54,135 --> 00:02:55,895
Taking into account the context defined

81
00:02:55,895 --> 00:02:57,695
above, the overall objective of the

82
00:02:57,695 --> 00:03:00,215
proposal is to create an IoT network

83
00:03:00,215 --> 00:03:03,015
laboratory for experimentation, research,

84
00:03:03,015 --> 00:03:04,775
and transfer of the development of

85
00:03:04,775 --> 00:03:07,255
techniques for analysis and detection of

86
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:09,575
cyber threats in rural environments.

87
00:03:09,895 --> 00:03:11,935
Therefore, the following objectives are

88
00:03:11,935 --> 00:03:14,855
proposed: IoT Cyber Threat Analysis

89
00:03:14,855 --> 00:03:17,495
Laboratory Intelligent Rural IoT

90
00:03:17,495 --> 00:03:20,375
LaboratoryDevelopment of AI techniques

91
00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:22,455
for the detection of cyber threats for

92
00:03:22,455 --> 00:03:24,455
smart rural IoT environments.

93
00:03:24,855 --> 00:03:27,535
Optimization and deployment of AI-based

94
00:03:27,535 --> 00:03:29,815
predictive models in IoT devices.

95
00:03:31,391 --> 00:03:32,991
of the generation of knowledge within the

96
00:03:32,991 --> 00:03:35,711
chair, and as a contribution to society,

97
00:03:35,711 --> 00:03:38,351
an observatory of AI techniques and their

98
00:03:38,351 --> 00:03:40,831
application in IoT will also be created:

99
00:03:41,391 --> 00:03:43,791
AI for IoT Observatory. The

100
00:03:43,791 --> 00:03:46,071
observatory aims to become a benchmark in

101
00:03:46,071 --> 00:03:47,951
the field of artificial intelligence

102
00:03:47,951 --> 00:03:50,271
application in IoT environments and

103
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:52,951
deployments. Among its objectives, it

104
00:03:52,951 --> 00:03:55,151
aims to actively monitor and disseminate

105
00:03:55,151 --> 00:03:56,751
the state-of-the-art in research,

106
00:03:57,071 --> 00:03:59,111
technologies, and adoption of the main

107
00:03:59,111 --> 00:04:00,991
techniques and disciplines that use

108
00:04:00,991 --> 00:04:02,831
artificial intelligence in the field of

109
00:04:02,831 --> 00:04:05,111
IoT and more specifically in rural

110
00:04:05,111 --> 00:04:06,751
environments, environments with

111
00:04:06,751 --> 00:04:09,751
limitations. Additionally, it aims to

112
00:04:09,751 --> 00:04:11,751
raise awareness about the advantages and

113
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:14,191
disadvantages of this application of AI

114
00:04:14,191 --> 00:04:16,031
in different domains, such as the

115
00:04:16,031 --> 00:04:18,111
development of digital infrastructures in

116
00:04:18,111 --> 00:04:20,511
villages, efficient energy management,

117
00:04:20,751 --> 00:04:23,391
precision, agriculture, or rural heritage

118
00:04:23,391 --> 00:04:24,191
conservation.

119
00:04:26,582 --> 00:04:28,742
The chair is not only oriented towards

120
00:04:28,742 --> 00:04:31,222
research, but also towards training both

121
00:04:31,222 --> 00:04:33,382
the general public through a MOOC course

122
00:04:33,542 --> 00:04:35,222
and the creation of experts through

123
00:04:35,222 --> 00:04:37,062
various specialization courses.
