    Tackling Data, Physical, and Cybersecurity in Pharma Shipping

    In this Pharma.Aero podcast episode, industry experts discuss tackling data, physical, and cybersecurity in pharma shipping.   Join Frank Van Gelder and his guests Tanguy Bullier, Health Safety Security Environment Director for EMEA at WFS Nicola Caristo, Senior Quality Manager at SkyCell, also project expert - Pharma.Aero Security Standards Project to learn more about the rising need for cybersecurity and the current gaps in digital maturity across the cargo chain. The conversation highlights the need for standardized, global security protocols, with new tools like digital twins and AI seen as promising but still developing. Proposing a "global security language," the guests argue for a shared security management system to build mutual trust. Importantly, they underline the role of human collaboration, suggesting that coordinated efforts are as crucial as technological advancements to improve security standards and ensure reliable, efficient pharma transportation. Additional resources: Pharma.Aero Security Standards Project aims to develop a new harmonised security standard that ensures the safety, integrity, and compliance of temperature-sensitive valuable pharmaceutical products throughout the supply chain. This standard will integrate and harmonise requirements across four critical security pillars: Aviation Security, Customs Security, Asset Protection Security, and Data Security.
