Cyberattacks are conducted via cyberspace and target an enterprise’s use of cyberspace for the purpose of disrupting, disabling, destroying, or maliciously controlling a computing environment or infrastructure; or destroying the integrity of the data or stealing controlled information.1 Recent cyberattacks such as those executed against SolarWinds and its customers, and exploits that take advantage of vulnerabilities such as Log4j, highlight weaknesses within software supply chains, an issue which spans both commercial and open source software and impacts both private and Government enterprises. Accordingly, there is an increased need for software supply chain security awareness and cognizance regarding the potential for software supply chains to be weaponized by nation state adversaries using similar tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)

Global climate change mitigation policies have been the overriding driver of electrification in the automotive industry, with emission regulations compelling automotive OEMs to produce and sell more low- and zero-emission vehicles. However, while regulations are pushing electrification, carmakers’ ability to transition manufacturing at scale will depend on planning, efficiency and availability in the supply chain, especially for lithium-ion batteries.

Since the world’s port community gathered at the IAPH 2022 Conference in Vancouver last May, our technical committees have continued working on their extensive programs with the aim of closing the gaps of port competitiveness in terms of both physical and digital infrastructure. Alongside our core themes of climate and energy, data collaboration and risk and resilience, the fourth major conference theme focused on business innovation. Innovation crosses the boundaries of all our three core IAPH themes and is the key to business improvement
