Editor’s Pick: How To Protect Your Transportation Technology From Supply Chain Cyber Threats

Jan 30, 2025

Note: Today’s post is part of our “Editor’s Pick” series where we highlight posts published by our sponsors that provide practical knowledge and advice on timely and important supply chain and logistics topics. This recent post from JBF Consulting’s blog discusses the rise of cyber attacks (for example, see “Blue Yonder Cyberattack: How Prepared Are You If Your TMS Or WMS Goes Down?”) and what shippers can do to protect themselves.

Supply chain ecosystems have become prime targets for cybercriminals. Just last month, a major ransomware attack hit Blue Yonder’s private cloud computing service, affecting several hundred of their clients. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated event.

Given the recent events, Shipper Tech Talk co-hosts Brad Forester and Mike Mulqueen sat down with JBF team members Justin Wilcox and Mark Workman to discuss the rise of cyber attacks and what shippers can do to protect themselves.
