> Cyber freight risk management systematically identifies and evaluates digital threats in logistics and cargo transport.

Cyber freight risk management systematically identifies and evaluates digital threats in logistics and cargo transport. Forwarders and logistics operators must protect their IT and operational technology (OT) systems against attacks, data theft and manipulation of shipment data—including freight documents, GPS tracking, customs declarations and warehouse management systems. Risk management encompasses vulnerability assessments, access controls, encryption and contingency plans. System failure can lead to delays, cargo theft or regulatory penalties.
