Logistics & Transportation

Technology Risk Advisory for Logistics & Transportation.

Carriers, 3PLs, freight brokers and distribution operators run on connected fleets, warehouse systems and partner integrations that never stop. Ransomware, nation-state activity and increasingly organized cargo crime target every link. MALA evaluates fleet, warehouse and network technology, then sequences fixes around your operating windows. Start with a no-fee initial assessment.

The challenge

One outage stops freight across the whole network.

01

Always-on operations

Dispatch, yard and warehouse systems can't go down for maintenance.

02

Connected fleets

Telematics, ELDs and mobile devices extend the network to every truck.

03

Partner exposure

EDI, API and portal links to shippers, carriers and brokers.

04

Targeted freight

Organized groups now pursue high-value loads and the data behind them.

Our approach

Resilience planned around your operating windows.

  1. 01

    Map

    Inventory TMS, WMS, telematics and partner connections.

  2. 02

    Segment

    Separate warehouse and fleet systems from corporate IT.

  3. 03

    Verify

    Assess carrier, broker and vendor access to your data.

  4. 04

    Test Resilience

    Review backups, failover and manual fallback.

  5. 05

    Sequence

    Schedule work around peak lanes and cutover windows.

How MALA helps

A Logistics Technology Reality Assessment.

Operations systems review

TMS, WMS and yard systems evaluated for resilience.

Fleet & telematics security

ELDs, tracking and mobile devices in one view.

Partner access program

EDI, API and portal connections verified and documented.

Network & connectivity

SD-WAN, wireless and failover across facilities.

Ransomware resilience

Backup integrity, segmentation and response readiness.

Cost & contract benchmark

Network, cloud and telematics spend against market pricing.

Warehouse automation and telematics often sit outside IT's view. The assessment brings them in.

Common questions

What clients ask first.

Why are logistics companies targeted?

Downtime stops freight for every customer at once, which gives attackers leverage and makes recovery urgent.

How do you handle warehouse and fleet systems?

Separately from office IT, with segmentation and changes planned around operating windows.

What about our partners' access?

Every EDI, API and portal connection gets defined ownership, least-privilege access and ongoing review.

Can this fit around peak season?

The assessment can start anytime. Remediation is sequenced around your peak lanes and cutovers.
