Electrification will play an increasingly important role in the transformation of mobility industries (e.g. automotive). Batteries are sensitive components, and they must be monitored during their transportation to avoid unexpected events such as vibration and temperature shocks. Therefore, IoT devices, installed on the containers, offer possibilities to locate and track batteries from production plant to assembly plant and to monitor transportation conditions. Several business partners are involved in this Supply Chain Service (e.g., Supply Chain Management and Vehicle Assembly Plant).

The collection and transmission of data from origin to destination generate traffic of information from several devices within a cyber network that must be monitored. CRF entered in CYRENE considering the following questions:

Q1. Which tools (hardware and software) are necessary to guarantee the security of the infrastructure (devices, network) utilised during the inbound logistic?

Q2 Which solutions are necessary against threats and attacks? Which assets (components and methodologies) must be used to avoid the manipulation and interception of data and which one to avoid the interruption of services and cancellation or delay of data?

CYRENE answers these questions by providing innovative assets (components and methodologies) to evaluate and ensure the security in the supply chain, where interception, manipulation, and disruption of data can cause delays and production stops with additional costs. Furthermore, Cyrene developed a Conformity Assessment Process (CAP) that demonstrates cybersecurity in the whole business process.
