whitePaper | February 15, 2022

Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets.

Ports became congested. Transportation ground to a halt. Excessive reliance on one location or one supplier caused a domino effect of expensive downtime along the line.

Scudo: A Proposal for Resolving Software Supply Chain Insecurities in Vehicles

whitePaper | July 15, 2022

For many years supply chain security appears to have been something of a second-tier priority for both software developers and the companies that rely upon their product. It was more common to focus attention on what happens after the software is built, through code reviews, penetration testing, and the development and implementation of patches and updates. This type of approach overlooks the very real possibility that, even with all the efforts mentioned above, end users still have no guarantee they are actually installing the application originally conceived as a code base.

But, recent events have rapidly forced the industry to take a wider perspective on how software security is defined.

whitePaper | January 20, 2023

UPS, FedEx and other carriers spend large sums of money advertising that all of your parcel shipping needs can be satisfied by one vendor. In return for your business, the carrier will provide (at a very low price, or even free) the hardware and software your company needs to automatically create shipments, assign tracking numbers, print labels, and produce the required end-of-day reports. All you need to do is pick, pack, wrap, and have it on your dock. And, by placing all of you parcel requests with one carrier, it is reasonable to assume that you will be getting the best rate, given your level of volume. How can things get better than that?
