Transportation and logistics companies are now prime targets for cybercriminals in a global economy built on speed, connectivity, and just-in-time delivery. From cargo shipment platforms and fleet telematics to warehouse automation and inventory systems, attackers see a goldmine of vulnerabilities in this sector, exploiting them aggressively.
Unfortunately, many transportation and warehousing firms have been slow to modernize their cybersecurity defenses. Whether it’s outdated infrastructure, siloed operations, or reliance on third-party networks, the consequences are becoming catastrophic.
Here’s the reality: Logistics networks are being hijacked, warehousing operations are being halted, and ransomware is locking up not just files, but entire fleets.
But there’s a solution built precisely for this new threat environment: viLogics Total Secure Office 365 (TSO 365).
Cyberattacks in the transportation and logistics sector have spiked by over 400% in the past three years. Why? Because the industry now sits at the intersection of:
Critical Infrastructure: Disrupting cargo or supply chain movement affects entire economies.
Digital Transformation Gaps: Many operations run on legacy tech or fragmented systems that lack integrated security.
Remote Work and IoT: Telematics, fleet GPS, and warehouse automation tools create complex attack surfaces.
High Ransom Pay Rates: Downtime in logistics can cost thousands per minute. Criminals know these businesses will pay to get back online.
Maersk (Global Shipping Giant): Suffered over $300 million in damages from the NotPetya attack that shut down port terminals worldwide.
Expeditors International: A ransomware attack in 2022 forced them to halt operations for multiple days, disrupting customer supply chains.
Forward Air: Lost over $7.5 million in revenue after a ransomware attack froze scheduling and logistics systems.
Cybercriminals exploit the following weaknesses common in logistics operations:
Flat Networks: Once inside, attackers can move laterally across systems like WMS (Warehouse Management), TMS (Transportation Management), and ERP.
Poor Endpoint Security: Mobile scanners, tablets, and vehicle telematics are often unsecured.
Third-Party Integrations: Partners, suppliers, and vendors can become backdoors for infiltration.
No Incident Response Plan: Many firms lack a tested strategy to respond to a breach.
When a cyberattack hits a logistics operation, the damage is immediate:
Freight Delays: Orders pile up, clients walk away.
Warehouse Disruptions: Inventory visibility disappears, and automation shuts down.
Fleet Downtime: Telematics are hijacked, and drivers are left without routing.
Financial Fallout: Ransom demands, regulatory fines, and loss of contracts.
Even worse, reputation damage can permanently erode customer trust. No client wants to bet their supply chain on a partner that can’t secure their systems.
viLogics TSO 365 is a fully managed cybersecurity ecosystem that is purpose-built to meet the needs of transportation, logistics, and warehousing operations. Unlike piecemeal security tools, TSO 365 delivers full-spectrum protection, aligned to the 18 CIS Controls v8.0 and ready to meet regulatory, insurance, and operational demands.
Here’s how it works:
From fleet tablets to warehouse terminals, TSO 365 secures every connected device in your operation.
AI-Driven Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR): Stop ransomware and malware before they spread.
Mobile Device Management: Secure and monitor fleet devices and inventory scanners in real time.
Zero Trust Access Controls: Ensure only authorized users access mission-critical apps—no matter where they are.
Modern logistics networks need adaptive perimeter defense—TSO 365 delivers that with:
Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS): Cloud-delivered perimeter protection across all warehouses and transit hubs.
Secure SD-WAN: Securely connect multi-site operations with built-in segmentation and threat inspection.
Intrusion Detection & Prevention (IDS/IPS): Real-time traffic analysis to stop cyber threats in transit.
Your team may sleep, but attackers don’t. TSO 365 includes a fully staffed virtual Security Operations Center (vSOC) to watch over your operations.
24x7x365 Monitoring: Analysts detect and respond to threats in real time.
SIEM Integration: Centralized event logging and forensic analysis for compliance and audit readiness.
Rapid Incident Response: Playbooks and live support ready to contain any breach event.
Qualifying for cyber liability insurance can be tough, but TSO 365 has already done the hard work.
Pre-validated Compliance: Aligned to CIS v8.0—recognized by underwriters.
Up to $1.5 Million in Coverage: Automatically included once TSO is fully deployed.
One-Page Application: No lengthy audits or complex forms.
This built-in financial safety net guarantees logistics firms operational resilience and business continuity.
viLogics understands that logistics doesn't operate in isolation. That’s why TSO 365 secures third-party connections without compromising speed or efficiency.
API Security Gateways
Vendor Access Controls
Secure File Transfers (SFTP, VPN, TLS)
This means you can confidently link with ERPs, suppliers, and customer portals—without opening new cyber risks.
Preparation is half the battle. viLogics includes hands-on response simulations and full recovery toolkits.
Custom Tabletop Scenarios: Simulate ransomware, insider threats, and supply chain disruptions.
Break-Glass USB Kits: Preloaded with forensics, recovery tools, and offline access in case of total system failure.
Backup & Restore: Immutable backups and geo-redundant storage to ensure no data is ever lost.
Clients in the logistics space who deploy TSO 365 report:
50% fewer security incidents
100% uptime during recovery simulations
95% reduction in ransomware susceptibility
Full insurance compliance at zero additional premium
One recent viLogics client—a national freight broker—saw system-wide performance and trust restored in under 3 hours following a cyberattack attempt that previously would have halted their network for days.
In today’s hyper-connected logistics landscape, every second of downtime costs money and trust. The threats are only growing in complexity and frequency.
viLogics TSO 365 is more than a security product—it’s an operational shield. One built to secure your cargo, customers, and future growth. While others react to threats, you’ll prevent them outright.
