Protect freight operations, fleet data, and port systems from attack
BEC payment fraud targeting freight operations, cargo theft enabled by tracking data breaches, and NotPetya-style disruption of logistics operations cost the sector billions annually. ManySignal monitors fleet platforms, TMS systems, and port OT — detecting threats before they disrupt your supply chain.

How ManySignal protects logistics and transportation
Fleet management and telematics security
Logistics operators rely on fleet management platforms (Geotab, Samsara, Trimble) and telematics systems connected to onboard diagnostics (OBD-II, CAN bus). ManySignal monitors the cloud-side fleet management APIs and connectivity infrastructure, detecting unauthorised route modification, driver data access, and fleet tracking data exfiltration — which can be used to plan cargo theft.
- Fleet management platform admin access baselining
- Driver location and cargo route data access outside ops team scope
- API access anomalies on telematics data platforms
Fleet management and telematics security
Supply chain and freight system integrity
Logistics companies are prime targets for business email compromise (BEC) — fraudulent payment instruction changes to freight bill recipients average $125,000 per incident. ManySignal monitors email authentication, payment instruction change events in freight management systems (SAP TM, Oracle TMS, Descartes), and financial approval workflows — correlating identity anomalies with payment change requests.
- Freight payment instruction change correlated with prior BEC indicators
- Vendor bank account modification monitoring
- Financial approval bypass — payments above threshold without dual authorisation
Supply chain and freight system integrity
Port and intermodal facility OT monitoring
Port operational technology — cranes, terminal operating systems (TOS), and automated stacking cranes — is increasingly networked and a target for disruption (NotPetya disabled Maersk's global operations via a shipping-sector attack). ManySignal monitors the IT/OT boundary at port facilities, detecting anomalous access to TOS platforms and crane control systems from enterprise network segments.
- Terminal Operating System (TOS) access outside operations team
- Crane control system access from non-operational networks detected
- NotPetya-style wiper malware pre-indicators — SMB propagation, AD enumeration

Logistics security — common questions
How does ManySignal help logistics companies prevent cargo theft enabled by data breaches?
Cargo theft rings increasingly use compromised logistics data — route plans, cargo manifests, and real-time tracking — to time and target thefts. ManySignal detects anomalous access to cargo routing and manifest systems, flags access by external parties (brokers, carriers) to data outside their assigned loads, and monitors for bulk export of shipment data that could be sold to cargo theft networks.
Can ManySignal detect BEC attacks against freight brokers and freight bill payment operations?
Yes. ManySignal monitors Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for BEC indicators: email forwarding rules to external addresses, login from new geolocation followed by payment change requests, and suspicious email display name spoofing. When a payment change request appears in the freight management system, ManySignal correlates it with any prior identity anomalies on the same user account.
Does ManySignal support TSA Cybersecurity directives for transportation sector operators?
Yes. TSA has issued cybersecurity directives for aviation, surface transportation, and railroad operators. ManySignal addresses the TSA directives' requirements for network segmentation monitoring, access controls, and incident reporting. For railroads, ManySignal monitors Positive Train Control (PTC) adjacent systems and supports the 24-hour incident notification requirement to CISA.
How does ManySignal prevent a NotPetya-style attack from spreading through logistics operations?
NotPetya spread via SMBv1 (EternalBlue) and credential reuse after the initial compromise. ManySignal detects the pre-wiper indicators: unusual SMB traffic patterns, LSASS credential dumping, and mass admin account access across multiple hosts. These behaviours trigger automatic containment actions — network isolation of affected hosts — before the wiper payload can propagate to operations systems.
Does ManySignal integrate with SAP Transportation Management or Oracle TMS?
ManySignal ingests SAP audit logs via SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD) integration or direct SAP audit log streaming. For Oracle TMS, it ingests application access logs via syslog or Oracle Audit Vault. Both integrations enable payment change monitoring, privileged access detection, and freight data access baselining per user role.
