Objectives and Scope

Industrial supply chains increasingly rely on connected digital services, extending cyber risks beyond organisational boundaries. These environments must satisfy strict safety, reliability, and availability constraints, limiting rapid change. The Cybersecure Supply Chains for Safe and Resilient Industrial Systems workshop focuses on methods, evidence, and best practices for managing and demonstrating cybersecurity across multi-tier industrial supply chains, including risks from shared digital environments and geopolitically motivated operations. The goal is to support the design and operation of safe, resilient, and sustainable industrial systems. The goal of CSRIS 2026 is to:

Clarify cybersecurity risks in industrial supply chains and their consequences for the safety, reliability, and sustainability of interconnected systems.
Analyse recent industrial cyber incidents targeting supply chains to identify propagation patterns, failure pathways, and recovery constraints, deriving lessons for designing resilient and safe operations.
Examine the role of standards, regulations, and governance in shaping expected cybersecurity processes, responsibilities, and assurance mechanisms across industrial supply chains.
Contrast internal risk management with supply chain risk and explore practical methods for coordinating safety and security assurance across organizational boundaries.
Discuss the impact of cyberwarfare and geopolitically motivated operations on industrial supply chains, and identify strategies that help organizations maintain safe, reliable, and resilient operations under complex threat scenarios.

The E-KTP Project

The CSRIS 2026 workshop is funded by the Welsh Government under the Enhanced Knowledge Transfer Partnership (EKTP) programme, supporting a project on a Supply Chain Security Management Framework. This initiative is a collaborative Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between Edinburgh Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, and Airbus Operations Limited, Newport, Wales, UK.
