Cybersecurity is a critical dimension of increasing marine automation. Industry, academia, government and other regulators are increasingly aware of the need for research and development around MASS cybersecurity, but early work in the area lacks co-ordination among key stakeholders. This project will develop a set of requirements for NRC-hosted virtual and physical infrastructure to support MASS cybersecurity research. This future infrastructure will support research, development, integration and proving by a variety of partners from industry, academia and the Government of Canada. Once designed and implemented, such infrastructure will provide a common resource for key stakeholders to reduce MASS risks and enable new opportunities in marine innovation. Before it can be designed, however, it is essential to gather requirements from a broad base of stakeholders. This project proposes to do this by conducting a literature review, organizing a stakeholder workshop and producing a final report detailing the requirements we will discover.

The overall goal of this project is to help implement new traceability regulations, set in place by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) on July 15th, 2020, in the Atlantic Canada craft alcohol sector. These traceability regulations are new to the alcoholic beverage sector and are part of the Safe Food for Canadians Act (SFCA). The CCNB research team will engage with a minimum of 20 businesses from New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia, to provide insight on the new regulations while gathering information to build a framework to help identify traceability requirements based on the client’s business plan. Businesses must meet the CFIA traceability requirements if they hope to sell any alcoholic beverage. CFIA was due to start enforcing these new regulations; however, COVID-19 has slowed their efforts.
