Eviden and Almaviva join Forces to Secure Deployments of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems in Italy
A strategic partnership supporting the pivotal role of Italian
C-ITS stakeholders in shaping a connected and cooperative European mobility ecosystem
Paris, France – February 19, 2026 – Eviden, the Atos Group product brand leading in cybersecurity products, mission-critical systems and vision AI today announces a strategic partnership with Almaviva, a leading Italian digital innovation group to advance the nationwide deployment of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and ensure seamless cross-border interoperability.
The partnership aims to support C-Roads Italy, a national program dedicated to deploying C-ITS technologies in real traffic conditions. These technologies enable vehicles to communicate with infrastructure and other road users, helping to reduce road accidents and congestion, promote cleaner and more efficient transport, and pave the way for Europe’s future automated mobility systems. C-Roads Italy is part of the EU funded C Roads initiative, which coordinates C-ITS deployments across more than 20 Member States.
Almaviva will distribute Eviden’s national-scale Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems Public Key Infrastructure (C-ITS PKI) across Italy to strengthen its transport & mobility activities, and MOOVA—its integrated, modular and seamless mobility platform designed to connect multiple modes of transport within a unified digital ecosystem.
Eviden contributes a certified and trusted cybersecurity product already deployed across Europe, along with deep expertise in transport security ecosystems. At the heart of the agreement lies secure communications for intelligent and cooperative transport systems, establishing robust digital trust domains and guaranteeing message authentication, integrity and confidentiality.
Indeed, C-ITS encompass vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, known as V2X, enabling use cases that involve public and private stakeholders. As these entities deploy C-ITS communication stations in vehicles and along road infrastructure, a robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is essential to ensure the security, confidentiality, trustworthiness and native interoperability of their interactions.
Eviden’s C-ITS PKI, available as a SaaS offering within MOOVA, will include hosting services, technical support and ongoing maintenance allowing Italian public and private sector clients to benefit from end-to-end local support and operations, backed by more than a decade of collaboration between Eviden and Almaviva.
Yann Vincent, head of cybersecurity products, Eviden, Atos Group, said “We look forward to supporting C-ITS projects in Italy alongside Almaviva, the country’s leading information and communications technology group, and to bringing our C-ITS PKI solution—built on decades of expertise in high-assurance cryptographic infrastructures and digital identity—to support Italy’s ambitious plans for the rollout of secure, mobile, and connected road transport.”
Dario Ferrillo, transport infrastructure & logistics director, Almaviva, said: “The collaboration with Eviden represents a fundamental step in Almaviva’s journey to accelerate the evolution of smart and cooperative mobility in Italy. By integrating a PKI C‑ITS solution already recognized at European level into the MOOVA platform, we are providing public and private operators with a reliable, scalable security infrastructure that is fully interoperable with continental standards.”
