February 19, 2026 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
Join us on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 1:00 pm ET, as the NMFTA cybersecurity team discuss Evolving Threats in the Transportation Sector.
Description
As transportation systems become more connected, cybersecurity risks are evolving just as rapidly. From ELD tampering and falsified driver logs to GPS spoofing and vulnerabilities in vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications, today’s digital freight ecosystem presents new opportunities for fraud, disruption, and safety risks.
These threats are deeply interconnected. A compromised ELD can open the door to broader system attacks, while manipulated location data can disrupt routing, conceal theft, and undermine compliance. Together, they represent a shift from securing individual systems to protecting an integrated transportation ecosystem.
In this webinar, industry experts will break down these emerging cyber threats and share practical strategies to help fleets and stakeholders protect their operations in an increasingly digital transportation landscape.
Learning Outcomes
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand how ELD tampering and log manipulation schemes operate and why they pose serious safety and compliance risks
- Identify emerging threats related to GPS spoofing and V2I communications in freight transportation
- Recognize how interconnected transportation systems can amplify cybersecurity vulnerabilities
- Assess the potential operational, legal, and safety impacts of cyberattacks on fleets
- Apply practical strategies and best practices to strengthen cybersecurity across transportation operations
