For many years, cybersecurity was seen as a technical topic. Something for IT to manage in the background. Firewalls, patches, antivirus software. Necessary, but not strategic. That time has passed, writes Andreas Anyuru (pictured below), CTO of Consafe Logistics.<\/p>\n

Today, warehouse management systems and supply chain platforms are deeply embedded in business operations. They control goods flows, automation, robotics, transport bookings and customer deliveries. When they stop, operations stop. Revenue stops. Customer trust is tested.<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity in logistics is therefore no longer an IT issue. It is a business continuity issue. A board level issue. A leadership issue.<\/p>\n

A new risk landscape for supply chains<\/h2>\n

We often read about ransomware attacks or large scale data breaches in the news. What is less visible is how these incidents usually begin. They rarely start with a dramatic break in. More often, they begin quietly with a known vulnerability in widely used technology.<\/p>\n

A vendor releases a security patch. Some companies update immediately. Others postpone. Operations are running. Peak season is approaching. Testing takes time. The upgrade is moved to the next quarter.
Meanwhile, attackers automate their scans. They look for systems that have not been updated. And they find them.<\/p>\n

In supply chain environments, the consequences are amplified. A warehouse management system does not only manage data. It controls physical operations. Conveyors, sorters, robotics, picking flows. Many run 24\/7. Stopping them is not like restarting an office application. It can mean delayed deliveries, contractual penalties and reputational damage.<\/p>\n

Several automotive manufacturers in Asia and the UK have in recent years had to halt production for weeks following cyber incidents. In some cases, the affected systems were believed to be isolated. The financial impact was significant. The operational impact even more so. The lesson is clear. Isolation is not…<\/p>\n
