for fleet

Eurosmart welcomes
proposal to boost EU
cybersecurity industry
M
iX Telematics, a leading global
provider of fleet and mobile asset
management solutions, has announced
that its premium fleet telematics solution
is being adopted by Bpost, the industry
leading Belgian postal service.
MiX’s channel partner in the region,
Rauwers, will be providing Bpost with MiX’s
solution to address its safety, efficiency and
compliance requirements on a fleet of over
1,000 vehicles.
The Belgian postal service was founded
in 1830 and is headquartered in Brussels.
Today, it is firmly established within
Belgian society and provides a range of
postal, courier, direct marketing, banking,
insurance and electronic services in a highly
competitive European market.
Bpost undertook a thorough selection
process and ultimately chose MiX’s
technology and expertise over competitors
due to product flexibility and interoperability
with existing systems, the flexibility and
power of MiX’s business intelligence tools,
hands-on service and consultancy, and lastly
the potential of the on-board technology
and MiX’s Tabs solution to potentially track
other assets in future.
“MiX and Rauwers have a successful,
longstanding relationship having worked
together for almost two decades. We are
proud to be working with them to deliver
outstanding service and solutions to Bpost
and their many other premium customers in
Belgium,” said Charles Tasker, Group Chief
Operating Officer at MiX Telematics.

urosmart, located in Brussels and the
voice of the Digital Security Industry,
welcomes the European Commission’s
proposal for a regulation establishing
the European Cybersecurity Industrial,
Technology and Research Competence
centre and the Network of National
Coordination Centres.
The proposal, based on a cooperation
model, aims at stimulating the
European cybersecurity technological
and industrial ecosystem. The digital
security industry supports the idea of
the creation of an implementation
body for both the proposed Digital
Europe Programme and the Horizon
Europe Programme.
As stated by the proposal for a regulation,
in order to ramp up the EU’s cyber-
resilience, efforts must be made to bring
together the industry and the research
in the field of cybersecurity. Eurosmart is
proud to contribute to both factors and
to be a part of the 660 cybersecurity
expertise centres on which the proposal
is built on.
“Eurosmart, as a founding member
of the European Cybersecurity
Organisation (ECSO), has been
contributing to the very first European
initiative, bringing together the research,
SMEs, industry, European regions and
public-sector communities in the field
of cybersecurity,” said Stéfane Mouille,
Eurosmart President.
Through this new proposal, the European
Commission intends to enhance this
public-private partnership and to put
Europe in a “position to autonomously
secure its digital assets.”
Europe must boost its cybersecurity
industry in order to compete in the
global security market. According to the
draft final report on the Cybersecurity
Market Study, Europe is a net importer
of cybersecurity product solutions and
depends on non-EU providers. The
European Digital Security Industry,
represented by Eurosmart, may be the
only exception of the cybersecurity
industry being a global leader in the
exportation of secure elements.
