Risk & Compliance

What’s inside?

    As early as August 2020, Windward has detected instances of GNSS manipulation intended to overcome the industry’s new regulations and compliance advisories. Bad actors looking to conceal their illicit activities have attained military-grade technologies that enable them to electronically manipulate their transmitted GPS location.
