As the transportation, logistics, and supply chain sectors
increasingly shift towards the adoption of artificial intelligence,
automation, and the implementation of digital infrastructures -
which include connected technologies and cloud-based storage
solutions – so too does the risk of cybersecurity attacks and
breaches of privacy.
The transportation sector in particular carries a unique scope
of what is termed "cyber risk" given the complex
latticework of supply chain and logistics in which it operates.
Ordinarily, this includes the multitude of actors, such as
shippers, brokers, intermediaries, steamship lines, rail, and other
carriers, to which they face pressures from and obligations to.
