Problem
CYBERSECURITY THREATS TO
LOGISTICS ARE RISING, BUT
EXISTING RESEARCH LACKS
REAL-WORLD DATA AND FOCUSES
MAINLY ON BROADER SUPPLY
CHAINS.
Data Gap: Companies hesitate to share sensitive
cybersecurity information.
Logistics Blind Spot: Studies often overlook specific
vulnerabilities within logistics operations.
Prevention Focus: Research leans towards preventative
measures, neglecting real-time response and recovery.
Blockchain Potential: Security features like immutability hold
promise, but standardization and scalability are hurdles.
Key Challenges
Encryption Concerns: Current encryption methods vulnerable
to future quantum computing advancements.
Growing Attack Surface: Smart devices, RFID, and Industry
4.0 expand potential attack points.

Artificial Intelligence (AI):
FedEx: Uses AI to optimize delivery routes, predict
traffic congestion, and even anticipate potential
equipment failures. This reduces delays and improves
on-time delivery rates.
DHL: Leverages AI to analyze weather patterns and
adjust shipping routes in real-time to avoid disruptions
due to storms or other natural disasters.
Machine Learning (ML):
Amazon: Implements ML algorithms to detect
fraudulent transactions and prevent cargo theft within
its vast transportation network.
Maersk: Employs ML to analyze sensor data from
shipping containers, identifying irregularities in
temperature, humidity, or vibration that could indicate
potential damage or spoilage of cargo.
Blockchain:
Everledger: Uses blockchain technology to track the
provenance of diamonds, ensuring ethical sourcing and
preventing the sale of conflict diamonds.
Internet of Things (IoT):
UPS: Equips its delivery trucks with connected
sensors that monitor fuel consumption, engine
performance, and driver behavior. This data is used
to optimize routes, reduce fuel costs, and improve
driver safety.
Nestlé: Deploys IoT sensors in its warehouses to
track the temperature and humidity of perishable
goods in real-time, ensuring optimal storage
conditions and minimizing food spoilage.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA):
Deutsche Bahn: Uses RPA to automate tasks such
as invoice processing and customs clearance,
reducing human error and streamlining logistics
operations.
