#Environment Friendly Paper-Based Security Tags to Protect Shipments In collaboration with its EU project partners,
VTT has developed an electronic security tag, which can be used to protect valuable shipments and enhance product safety in the future.
By using a security tag equipped with sensors, the sender and the recipient can ensure, for example,
but with the VTT methods it is now also possible to produce more environmentally friendly paper-based security tags.
thus producing novel security tags for sealing shipments and verifying the authenticity of products.""With the help of roll-to-roll technologies, VTT has implemented a security element that can be used for supervising the integrity of shipments.
Our project partners have been examining the recyclability of the security element and its feasibility in logistics chains,
so we now have a functional package in our hands, "says Liisa Hakola, Senior Scientist from VTT, describing the results of the EU-funded ROPAS project."
"In its studies, our project partner ITENE has detected that the components used in the security element have a very minor influence on the optical and mechanical properties of recycled fibres.
The security tag consists of a paper tag with an embedded battery and two coloured LEDS.
In the ROPAS project, VTT showed that roll-to-roll technology for printing electronics is suited also to the manufacturing of paper-based security tags.
In the project, the Spanish logistics sector partner Loginser tested the functionality of the security tag in its own shipments.

Cyber warfare is uniquely dangerous in that it gives enormous power to nation-states hacktivists and malicious non-state actors who would normally pose little or no threat to their adversaries.
As a result, we are witnessing a new arms race for cyber offensive (and defensive) capabilities.

When it comes to finding security holes in a company's information system, people hired to hack into a company's systems start with
what is often the biggest and clearest vulnerability its employees. At Infiltrate, a professional penetration tester for a major company in Silicon valley told Business Insider that the easiest way to infiltrate a client's system is to bait an employee into clicking on an infected link in a seemingly innocuous email.
From there, the hacker for hire can acquire the employee's username, passwords, and other sensitive information which can lead a hacker into the company's system.
This tactic known as"phishing,"can be executed by unskilled scammers. When executed by a professional, however, phishing becomes a highly targeted tool.
Last November, the US Department of Homeland security discovered that SCADA systems controlling various industrial processes (such as the power grid
