Smart and sustainable logistics for a competitive Europe

The logistics sector is a key driver of EU economic integration and growth. Access to internal and global markets depends on efficient and cost-effective logistics throughout the EU for long-term economic prosperity. Logistics covers planning, implementing and controlling the movement of raw materials, semifinished products and finished goods (EC, 2007a). The efficiency of freight logistics has a direct impact on product prices and security of supply. Estimates put logistics at 12% of the total cost in the manufacturing sector and at more than 20% in the retail sector (EC, 2007b). This makes logistics a key determinant of the competitiveness of the EU economy.

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. Over time, this somewhat myopic vision has given malicious actors multiple opportunities to insert malware or damage images. But, recent events have rapidly forced the industry to take a wider perspective on how software security is defined.
