OT Cybersecurity for the Logistics Sector
Automated warehouses, sorting systems, ports and multimodal platforms: logistics has become highly automated and interconnected in recent years, with warehouse management systems (WMS) now directly linked to the controllers that drive conveyors, robots, and sorting systems. A disruption immediately translates into a break in the supply chain, with financial impacts to follow.
Sector-specific challenges
- Growing automation: robots, conveyors, and sorting systems driven by controllers that are increasingly connected to the information system.
- Supply chain interdependence: an incident at one site can ripple across an entire supply chain.
- Multiple data exchange flows with external partners (carriers, customs, customers), a potential source of compromise.
- Pressure on availability: maintenance windows are limited, making it difficult to apply standard software patches, including to security solutions.
How Seclab protects your logistics infrastructure
Seclab Xchange isolates the control systems driving logistics equipment (conveyors, robots, sorting systems) while maintaining only the strictly necessary data exchanges with warehouse management systems. Xplore continuously maps operational assets and IT/OT traffic at sites where the two worlds are now tightly interwoven, and Xport secures USB file transfers during manual maintenance operations on controllers, without ever slowing down operational throughput.
