TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS

Client:  Multi-National Logistics Company, UK
The Problem

A large transport and logistics company was struggling with operational disruptions due to a lack of supply chain resilience. The company's supply chain was complex, involving multiple suppliers, warehouses, and transportation modes. This made it difficult to track shipments, manage inventory, and respond to disruptions. The company was also facing increasing pressure from customers to provide real-time visibility into their shipments and deliver on time.

The Solution

Darkskope worked with the client to conduct a detailed risk assessment of their supply chain and identify key areas of vulnerability. Based on the assessment, Darkskope recommended several measures to enhance supply chain resilience, including:

  • Implementing a real-time shipment tracking system that provides end-to-end visibility into the supply chain
  • Developing a dynamic inventory management system that can quickly adapt to changing demand and supply conditions
  • Establishing a risk management framework that identifies and manages supply chain risks proactively
  • Conducting regular training and drills to prepare the supply chain teams for various scenarios, such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or geopolitical risks
In addition to these measures, Darkskope also worked with the client to address operational technology challenges, such as cyber threats to the company's transportation management system and network infrastructure. Darkskope recommended several cybersecurity best practices, including:

  • Conducting regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
  • Establishing a security operations center to monitor and respond to cyber incidents in real-time
  • Implementing multi-factor authentication and access controls to protect critical systems and data
  • Developing an incident response plan that outlines the steps to be taken in case of a cyber-attack

The Outcome

As a result of Darkskope's engagement, the transport and logistics company was able to achieve a more resilient supply chain that could withstand disruptions and provide real-time visibility to customers. The company also improved its cybersecurity posture and reduced the risk of operational disruptions due to cyber-attacks. The client was pleased with the results and chose to continue working with Darkskope to manage their resilience infrastructure end-to-end.
