Your fleet runs on software. Make sure it's not running on vulnerabilities.

Logistics runs on a sprawl of internet-facing systems that rarely sit behind a single corporate firewall. Transportation and warehouse management platforms (TMS/WMS), telematics and GPS fleet dashboards, customer shipment-tracking portals, freight-quoting tools, and driver/load-board apps are all built to be reached from anywhere — by drivers, brokers, 3PLs, carriers, and customers. That reachability is the business model, and it's also the attack surface. Each of these systems exposes login pages, admin consoles, and APIs that FortWatch can see from the outside: open ports and service banners, expired or weak TLS, missing security headers, exposed admin panels, and stale subdomains from systems that were spun up for a single peak season and never retired.

What makes logistics distinct is the density of machine-to-machine integration. EDI (X12/EDIFACT) and API connections stitch together shippers, carriers, customs brokers, ports, and warehouse partners, and those endpoints are often standing up on non-standard ports with their own certificates, auth, and patch cadence. SFTP and FTPS drop-boxes used to exchange manifests, ASNs, customs filings, and rate sheets are a recurring source of exposure — sometimes anonymous-readable, sometimes running an unpatched service. Cloud storage holding shipping manifests, bills of lading, commercial invoices, and route data is a frequent leak path, and a single misconfigured S3/GCS/Azure bucket can spill an entire customer book. FortWatch fingerprints these services, flags exposed buckets and sensitive files (.env, .git, backups), and catches the dangling DNS and takeover-able subdomains that proliferate across a partner-integration estate.

The threat actors are practical, not exotic. Business email compromise and freight fraud thrive on logistics because a convincing lookalike domain plus a hijacked load can reroute a real shipment — cargo theft via spoofed broker identities is a documented, growing problem, which is why brand and lookalike-domain monitoring matters more here than in most verticals. Ransomware crews target carriers and ports because downtime stops physical freight, and they often get in through an exposed remote-access service, an unpatched edge appliance (the kind Nuclei flags by known CVE), or a weakly-protected vendor portal. FortWatch is honest about its lane: it continuously maps and prioritizes what's exposed and exploitable from the public internet. It is not an internal network agent, a full DAST against authenticated workflows, or a pentest replacement — it closes the externally-visible doors so your team can focus the deeper testing where it counts.
