Reducing Cyber Risk in Logistics

How logistics operators can protect time-critical, interconnected operations across warehouses, routing systems, IoT sensors, and partner integrations.

Reducing Cyber Risk in Time-Critical, Interconnected Operations

In logistics, cyber risk translates directly into operational failure. A single exploitable weakness can reroute shipments, halt warehouse operations, compromise tracking systems, or disrupt temperature-controlled cargo. In an industry defined by speed, coordination, and thin margins, even short disruptions can cascade into missed delivery windows, contractual penalties, and loss of customer trust.

Attackers target logistics because disrupting a single operator can cascade across supply chains, creating outsized leverage for extortion and manipulation.

Where Traditional Security Falls Short in Logistics

Most logistics organizations are not short on alerts. They are short on actionable clarity.

Scanners, compliance checks, and point-in-time penetration tests identify large numbers of potential issues across IT systems, OT environments, and third-party integrations. What they rarely answer are the questions logistics operators care about most:

  • Can this weakness be exploited to disrupt routing, inventory, or environmental controls?
  • Does it enable shipment manipulation, data tampering, or operational downtime?
  • What should we fix first to avoid service interruption?
  • Did the fix work—and will it still work after the next system update?

Scapien's Approach: Exploit-Validated Risk for Supply Chains

Scapien is designed to bring operational clarity to logistics security.

Rather than delivering theoretical exposure, Scapien uses human-led adversary testing to prove which weaknesses represent real attacker paths in a logistics context. Only issues that are demonstrably exploitable are elevated as risk.

Each validated exploit is delivered as Exploit-Validated Risk, prioritized by real operational impact—such as shipment diversion, warehouse downtime, sensor manipulation, or loss of supply chain visibility—rather than generic severity scores.

Keeping Operations Secure as Systems Change

Logistics environments change constantly. Routing systems are updated, warehouse automation is reconfigured, partners are onboarded, and IoT devices are deployed at scale. These changes frequently reintroduce exposure—often without visibility.

Scapien addresses this through its iPAS platform. Once an exploit path is remediated, it is codified into a safe, reusable Exploit Replay. These replays are executed on an approved cadence wherever the same conditions exist, continuously verifying that fixes remain effective.

Built for the Realities of Modern Logistics

Scapien does not replace existing tools, operational teams, or delivery partners. It removes ambiguity.

By proving exploitability, prioritizing risk by operational impact, delivering prescriptive remediation, and continuously verifying closure, Scapien helps logistics organizations reduce real exposure without slowing operations or adding operational burden.

In logistics, resilience is measured in uptime and delivery accuracy. Scapien is built to protect both.
