Understanding and Mitigating Cyber Risk to the Global Logistics Supply Chain

HOOFDDORP, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, April 5, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the rapid adoption of IT and IoT solutions continues to enable ever greater operational efficiency in the processing of data and critical automation systems, the logistics and transport sector is facing the task of responding to new threat vectors and an unprecedented level of cyber risk. With an increased reliance on data-led solutions, from smart infrastructure and connected operational technology to the exchange and processing of critical customer data in the cloud, the attack surface has expanded and the risk has become increasingly difficult to quantify.

Recent high-profile cyber incidents have left little doubt as to the seriousness and scale of the disruption that can be caused, and losses sustained across the supply chain when vulnerabilities are exploited. The new paradigm brought about by IT/OT/IoT convergence is forcing an evolution in cybersecurity strategy from prevention towards attaining the defence in depth to detect, contain and mitigate attacks when our systems are compromised.

The event will bring together cybersecurity strategists from leading global logistics companies, infrastructure operators and supply chain, to better understand the global threat landscape, cyber risk governance strategy and the latest tools and techniques towards developing detection, response and recovery capabilities.
