SECURING THE SOFTWARE SUPPLY CHAIN

August 15, 2022

SECURING THE SOFTWARE
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)

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Shipping faces a critical challenge. The energy transition is well underway and ocean going zero carbon ships must be in service by 2030. The industry is currently focussed on delivering zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by fuelling with renewably sourced ammonia, hydrogen or methanol. But solutions for widespread deployment are not ready yet and ships built today have expected lifetimes of 20-30 years. So, the industry now thinks in terms of ‘readiness’, the ability to ensure that a vessel can use zero carbon fuel once this becomes feasible, either by building new vessels that have this capability from the day they are built, or by ensuring existing vessels can be easily converted.
