Logistics
Protecting cargo and customer data: Parker Neal's combined solutions address cyber security & data governance challenges in logistics. Ensure supply chain integrity, compliance, and customer trust.
-
Targeted High-Impact Attacks: Logistics companies are prime targets for cyber criminals due to the wealth of valuable data they handle. This includes shipment details, customer information, financial records, and intellectual property. These attacks can range from ransomware attacks that cripple operations and extort hefty ransoms, to data breaches exposing sensitive information, or even phishing scams targeting employees with access to critical systems.
-
Exploiting the Internet of Things (IoT) Attack Surface: The growing adoption of IoT devices in transportation and logistics creates new attack vectors. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in these devices (sensors, trackers, connected vehicles) to gain access to sensitive data, disrupt critical operations (e.g. rerouting deliveries), or even remotely control infrastructure (e.g. manipulating warehouse automation systems).

-
The Interconnected Web of Partners: The logistics industry relies heavily on a complex network of partners and vendors – from freight forwarders to warehouse operators and customs brokers. A security breach within any linked system in the supply chain can have a cascading effect, impacting all parties involved. Infiltration at a single point can compromise the entire chain, leading to data breaches, operational disruptions, and reputational damage.
-
Inconsistent Security Practices: Different partners may have varying security protocols, creating vulnerabilities and inconsistencies across the entire supply chain. Weak security measures at one partner can negate the robust protections implemented by others, leaving the entire chain exposed.
-
-
Physical Breaches and Evolving Theft Methods: Despite robust digital security, physical breaches and cargo theft remain a significant concern in the logistics industry. Thieves are constantly innovating their tactics, employing sophisticated methods to bypass security measures and steal valuable cargo.
-
Inadequate Access Control and Outdated Security Systems: Weak access controls at warehouses, terminals, and other transportation hubs can create opportunities for unauthorised access and theft. Outdated security systems with limited monitoring capabilities may fail to detect suspicious activity or provide timely alerts in case of a breach.
