IT & Cybersecurity for Logistics & Transportation
Motor carriers, freight brokers, and 3PLs. We harden TMS, WMS, and dispatch against ransomware and double-brokering, secure ELD and telematics, and run a 24/7 SOC tuned for the freight-fraud TTPs hitting the industry hardest.
Double-brokering and freight fraud target broker/carrier identity
Identity theft against motor-carrier MC numbers, fake-carrier load pickups, and fraudulent broker portals are now industry-scale operations. The losses don't sit with the insurer — they sit with whoever booked the load. Defense has to live in identity, monitoring, and process, not just email filtering.
Dispatch and TMS downtime maps directly to lost loads
When the TMS goes down, drivers don't get dispatched, EDI 214s don't go out, and shippers start calling. Ransomware against dispatch is one of the few outages where every hour shows up on a customer scorecard the next quarter.
ELD, telematics, and IoT fleet devices you can't patch normally
ELDs, AOBRDs, dash cams, and trailer-tracking sensors run firmware on cellular modems that aren't updated on a typical IT cadence. Segmentation, monitoring, and vendor-risk controls cover the gap that endpoint patching cannot.
Driver-portal credential theft and BEC against AP
Driver mobile apps, factoring portals, and load-board accounts get phished at high volume. BEC against accounts payable rerouting carrier or broker payments is a recurring loss pattern. The controls live in MFA, conditional access, and detection content tuned for these specific TTPs.
What we deliver for carriers, brokers, and 3PLs
TMS / WMS / Dispatch Security
Hardened deployments and monitoring across McLeod, MercuryGate, Trimble, BluJay, and custom dispatch platforms. Includes integration security for EDI, API, and load-board connectors.
ELD & Telematics Security
Network segmentation for fleet IoT, vendor-risk monitoring on ELD providers, and detection content for tampering or anomalous geolocation patterns. Built around what FMCSA actually expects you to be able to demonstrate.
24/7 SOC Tuned for Freight-Fraud TTPs
Detection content for double-brokering signatures, MC-number identity abuse, fake-carrier patterns, and BEC variations specific to logistics AP. Plus standard SIEM correlation across IT, identity, and email.
Identity & Access for Brokers, Drivers, and Load Boards
MFA and conditional access across broker portals, factoring platforms, driver mobile apps, and load-board accounts. Privileged access management for dispatch admins and TMS superusers.
Ransomware-Resistant Backup & DR
Immutable, air-gapped backups for TMS, WMS, accounting, and dispatch. DR runbooks tested under live conditions. RTOs targeted under 1 hour for dispatch-critical systems.
Terminal, Yard, and Cross-Dock Connectivity
SD-WAN with carrier diversity for terminals, yards, and cross-docks. Zero-touch provisioning so a new yard goes live without a network engineer on site.
Compliance frameworks we operate against
Logistics FAQ
How do you defend against double-brokering and freight fraud?
Double-brokering is an identity and process problem before it's a network problem. We harden the identity layer for broker portals and factoring accounts, layer in detection content for the specific TTPs (MC-number identity abuse, fake-carrier patterns, anomalous payment redirects), and work with operations on the verification steps that actually catch a fraudulent carrier before the load is released. Email filtering alone does not solve this category.
Can you secure TMS and ELD systems without breaking integrations?
Yes. Our engineers have delivered hardening and monitoring across McLeod, MercuryGate, Trimble, BluJay, and custom TMS environments without disrupting EDI 204/210/214 flows, factoring integrations, or carrier APIs. ELD and telematics get covered through network segmentation and vendor-risk monitoring rather than endpoint changes that would void carrier compliance.
What's the right approach when ransomware hits dispatch?
Our SOC contains the incident, isolates the affected systems, and activates a pre-tested recovery runbook. Immutable backups restore TMS, WMS, and accounting to clean infrastructure. Restart sequencing aligns with operations so dispatch comes back before the customer-facing systems do. The goal is hours of downtime, not days, and that requires the runbook to be tested before the incident, not written during it.
Do you support C-TPAT and TAPA cybersecurity requirements?
Yes. We map controls against C-TPAT minimum security criteria for cybersecurity and against TAPA FSR for facilities handling high-value freight. Evidence is collected continuously, so when an audit, customer security review, or insurance-renewal questionnaire shows up, the answer set is already documented.
