Is your digital infrastructure actually secure, or are you just waiting for the next cyber threat to put you out of business? What does it take to stay ahead of bad actors in an industry where the window for a response has shrunk from months to minutes?

Joe Ohr is back on the show, and today, he's joined by Todd Florence from Estes Express Lines to discuss the current state of cybersecurity in logistics!

We're diving deep into the launch of the NMFTA Threat Portal and the Freight Fraud Prevention Hub, essential tools designed to help carriers and brokers share real-time data on everything from double brokering to advanced social engineering attacks.

Todd doesn't hold back on why protecting your threat information isn't a competitive advantage; it's a liability to the entire national supply chain.

Whether you're a one-truck owner-operator or a massive LTL carrier, you need to understand that everyone is on the radar, and having a practiced response plan is the only way to survive in this digital revolution. It's time to stop burying your head in the sand and start collaborating because, at the end of the day, the data is just as important as moving the freight itself!
