Cybersecurity

Every aspect of the transportation and logistics sector is vulnerable to cyber threats. Technology adoption is now widespread.  This means fleet operators are sharing more data with partners and vendors than ever before. This creates an opportunity for cyber criminals and with so many parties involved in the cargo supply chain there are even more chances to identify and exploit weak links in cyber security.

For the logistics and transport sector, a comprehensive cybersecurity solution should include elements like robust network security, endpoint protection, data encryption, access controls, employee training, IoT security, supply chain visibility, and incident response capabilities, with a focus on protecting sensitive data like shipment details, customer information, and operational systems from cyber threats like phishing attacks, malware, and ransomware.

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence has become integral to streamlining logistics and transport operations, enhancing forecasting accuracy, and enabling managers to make informed decisions based on data.

For example, AI-driven predictive analytics is utilised for accurate demand forecasting, while AI-based systems assist logistics teams in creating digital replicas of supply chains to effectively simulate and evaluate different operational scenarios.

Moreover, the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the landscape of real-time shipment tracking and tracing, offering unparalleled insight into the supply chain. It also plays a key role in enabling proactive equipment maintenance, leading to a significant reduction in unexpected breakdowns.
