From freight fraud schemes to cyberattacks that facilitate cargo theft, transportation companies face a growing array of threats. The National Motor Freight Traffic Association hopes to strengthen the industry’s defenses with a new Threat Report Portal that allows anonymous threat reporting and intelligence sharing.
As NMFTA’s Ben Wilkens explained in a recent article for HDT, the trucking industry has no shortage of cybersecurity reports and cargo crime statistics. What it lacks is timely, operational intelligence that fleets can actually use.

The value of the portal grows with every report submitted,…
