As 2025 draws to a close, the end of the year offers a valuable
opportunity for supply chain intermediaries – including
shippers, freight brokers, freight forwarders, warehousemen, and
motor carriers – to review and assess the health of their
cybersecurity systems, policies, and programs. In today's
increasingly digital and interconnected supply chain, the
consequences of even small vulnerabilities can have fatal
operational, legal, and reputational consequences.
Below, we outline three key cyber and privacy "blind
spots" we often see together with practical recommendations on
how to strengthen resilience and reduce exposure. Many of these
risks do not arise from sophisticated threat actors (of which,
there are many), but rather from outdated policies or gaps between
written policies and operational / fiscal realities.
