1st International Workshop on:
Cybersecure Supply Chains for Safe and Resilient Industrial Systems
Valencia, Spain, September 22, 2026
co-located with SafeComp2026
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 workshop welcomes original research papers, industrial contributions, and work-in-progress on security, resilience, and digital transformation in supply chains. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Blockchain-Based Supply Chain Security and Trust Mechanisms
IoT and Cyber-Physical System Security in Supply Chains
