Cybercrime: An Emerging Threat to Logistics and Transportation
In an increasingly digitized world, cybersecurity has become a growing concern for transportation and logistics companies. Ransomware and other cyber attacks pose a significant threat to the profitability and operationality of these businesses.
According to a report by Kaspersky, it is estimated that one in six ransomware attacks disrupts production or product delivery, with economic damages reaching hundreds of millions of dollars.
