Cyber Liability for Freight Brokers

Cyber Liability for Freight Brokers

In today’s digital age, the threat of cyberattacks is ever-present, and transportation businesses, with their vast electronic data repositories, are no exception. Freight brokers, in particular, handle a significant amount of electronic information, making them potential targets for cyber threats.

Cyber Threat Landscape

Freight brokers often rely on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, which store vast amounts of data on shippers, motor carriers, and customers. These platforms also house sensitive pricing and payment details. The sheer volume of transactions can be overwhelming, with some platforms processing thousands daily. Just one error by an employee can jeopardize the entire organization.

The Importance of Cyber Liability Insurance

The repercussions of losing third-party or sensitive data can be severe and costly for a freight broker. Cyber liability insurance becomes indispensable in such scenarios, offering protection against potential financial setbacks resulting from data breaches or cyberattacks.
