Port of Oulu piloting technologies that improve safety and resilience

VTT and the port of Oulu and their partners have launched the three-year Sa4CPS project, the goal of which is to improve the security and situational awareness of critical systems – both physical and digital.

Ports are critical hubs in transport networks, which makes their security a particular concern. However, due to their complex ecosystem, ports are very demanding operating environments from the point of view of overall safety and the maintenance of the situational picture. In a project important for security of supply, VTT and the port of Oulu are cooperating with 20 other domestic and foreign operators. The total budget of the international research and development project is 12.8 million euros. The project is financed by the participating actors, foreign research funders and Business Finland.

Sa4CPS is a collaborative project under the ITEA framework, that facilitates international collaboration among various organizations to drive software innovation and digital transition. The consortium for the Sa4CPS project is led by VTT and comprised of a diverse and highly networked collaborative group of 20 organizations from 5 countries, including 15 companies (ADC, ADLC, Alpata, CRL, Digitalmente, Enerim, Erarge, F-Secure, Inovasyon, IMA, Modirum, Natlink, Otokar, Polar and Vintecc), 4 research organizations (Charles University, ISEP, Sirris, VTT), and Port of Oulu. The project focuses on 8 concrete use cases, and the Port of Oulu plays a critical cross-sectorial role, bringing in practical application needs and a testing ground to the initiative.
