The Industry is Fighting Connected Threats in Isolation
Cyber threats and cargo crime are increasingly converging across the transportation industry. Criminal groups are coordinating attacks, sharing tactics, and exploiting disconnected systems between carriers, brokers, shippers, and logistics providers.
Most existing threat intelligence platforms are:
- Too broad;
- Too slow;
- Not built for trucking; and
- Not trusted for sensitive incident sharing.
As a result, many organizations don’t discover threats until after operational disruption, cargo loss, or ransomware impact has already occurred.
The industry needs a transportation-specific intelligence-sharing network built for real-world trucking operations.
Built for Trucking. Not Generic Threat Noise.
The National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc.® (NMFTA)® Threat Report Portal enables transportation companies to anonymously share cyber incidents and cargo crime intelligence with the broader industry community.
The portal supports reporting related to:
- Ransomware attacks;
- Network intrusions;
- Freight fraud;
- Fictitious pickups;
- Load redirections;
- Identity-based attacks; and
- Other transportation-related cyber and cargo threats.
By participating, organizations help create a stronger collective defense network for the trucking industry.
