TRANSCEND

We aim to improve the protection and resilience of critical freight transport infrastructure networks across Europe against physical, cyber and hybrid threats

READ MORE

Inspiration

The TRANSCEND project stems from the growing vulnerability of European transport networks, essential to the Single Market. Critical infrastructures are increasingly interconnected, amplifying risks across Europe. Recent events highlight the need for resilient infrastructures capable of withstanding both physical and cyber threats, ensuring operational continuity

Innovation

TRANSCEND introduces the Control Tower, a digital platform to enhance freight transport protection. This platform offers real-time visibility into threats, integrating innovative solutions to manage physical and cyber risks. The project will be tested at five critical infrastructure sites, demonstrating how collaboration can boost resilience

Impact

The project aims to strengthen operators’ ability to handle disruptions by developing risk mitigation strategies. The Control Tower will be a key element in supporting advanced risk management practices. Results will be widely shared with critical infrastructure operators and regulators, promoting a safer, more resilient, and efficient transport system across Europe

Rationale

Ensuring the resilience of Critical Infrastructures (CIs), particularly in the transport sector, has become increasingly vital. Today, there is a strong emphasis on securing information systems and effectively managing risks that could disrupt these essential services. Moreover, CIs are becoming progressively more interdependent across sectors; for example, energy is essential for telecommunications, which in turn supports logistics and transport operations. This growing interconnectedness increases systemic complexity and makes CIs more vulnerable to sophisticated cyber-physical attacks. As a result, understanding and modelling dependencies both across different sectors and domains, and within operators of the same CI, is not only required by regulations, but also crucial for improving preparedness, risk management, and coordinated incident response.

Objective

 The primary objective of the ecosystem modelling module is to analyse an ecosystem surrounding a CI as a whole and to provide the foundations for simulating potential impacts on the resilience of a supply chain composed of multiple entities (both internal and external to the CI) by propagating risk consequences across dependencies (domino effect).
