Exploring 6G Security: Real-timeThreats and Mitigation in XR Server/Client Interactions – HORSE Demo at EuCNC 2025 

HORSE demonstrates how applications can leverage the ongoing evolution of 6G capabilities, as well as deal with the technology solutions, and system evaluation not yet foreseen, towards an omnipresent, smart and secure network service provisioning in the future network-of-networks landscape.  

 The HORSE project addresses the challenge towards 6G infrastructure operation for smart connectivity and service management, and beyond, showing its effectiveness at the intersection of 6G connectivity, computing infrastructure management and security. 
The project has reached an advanced stage of its development of its security-aware architecture.  

In the video below, screened at EUCNC 2025 in Poznan, we demonstrated a live simulation of a cyberattack, and how the HORSE infrastructure detects, mitigates, and neutralizes threats in real time. 

Details about the Demo 

In this live demonstration, we showcase an immersive XR (extended reality) multiuser session for design and prototyping, enabling real-time collaboration on a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model. Multiple users can join the session, by using the XR Glasses, interact with the model, and see each other’s avatars, enhancing teamwork and spatial awareness. 

The demonstration leverages HOLO Light’s Space and Stream technologies, ensuring seamless rendering and interaction with high-fidelity CAD models. The XR devices and the server communicate securely via OpenVPN, connecting to the HORSE infrastructure for robust cybersecurity and network resilience. 

This demo is developed by HOLO Light and CNIT partners of the HORSE consortium.
