Why Distribution Centers Are Prime Targets

Distribution centers face unique cybersecurity challenges. Connected warehouse systems, supplier networks, and automated equipment create multiple attack vectors that can halt operations.

Warehouse System Attacks

Ransomware targeting WMS can halt picking, packing, and shipping operations entirely. A single attack can stop fulfillment for days, costing millions in lost revenue and customer trust.

Inventory Manipulation

Attackers can alter inventory counts, create phantom shipments, or enable theft. Manipulated inventory data leads to stockouts, overstock, and loss of product visibility across your supply chain.

EDI & Supplier Connections

Electronic data interchange with suppliers and retailers creates bidirectional risk. Compromised EDI connections can propagate attacks to trading partners or allow attackers to intercept orders.

Automated Equipment Risks

Connected conveyors, sortation systems, and robotics add attack surface. Compromised automation systems can cause physical damage, safety incidents, or complete operational shutdown.

Cybersecurity Solutions for Distribution

From WMS security assessments to disaster recovery planning, we help distribution centers protect operations without sacrificing efficiency.

WMS Security Assessment

Evaluate warehouse management systems for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Identify risks before attackers exploit them.

Inventory System Protection

Secure inventory tracking and prevent unauthorized manipulation. Protect the data that drives your fulfillment operations.

EDI Security Review

Assess electronic data interchange connections with trading partners. Implement monitoring and controls for supplier integrations.

Automated Systems Security

Protect connected warehouse automation and robotics. Secure conveyors, sortation systems, and material handling equipment.

Third-Party Vendor Assessment

Evaluate security of suppliers, carriers, and technology vendors. Understand and manage risk across your partner ecosystem.

Disaster Recovery Planning

Ensure distribution can continue during and after cyber incidents. Build resilience into your fulfillment operations.

Our Security Process

We secure distribution operations without disrupting fulfillment. Our process identifies risks, implements protections, and validates resilience on your timeline.

1 Operations Mapping: Inventory all warehouse systems and supplier connections
2 Vulnerability Assessment: Identify risks in WMS, automation, and integrations
3 Security Implementation: Deploy protections without disrupting fulfillment
4 Resilience Testing: Validate that operations can survive and recover from attacks

  • Vulnerability assessment with prioritized remediation roadmap
  • EDI and supplier connection security analysis
  • Automation and OT security evaluation
  • Incident response and disaster recovery playbooks
  • Ongoing monitoring and detection recommendations

Distribution Center Security FAQ

Answers to questions we frequently hear from distribution and logistics teams.

Will security slow down our operations?

No. We design controls that maintain operational speed while protecting critical systems. Security measures are implemented to work alongside your workflows, ensuring fulfillment continues at full capacity.

How do you handle our EDI connections?

We assess each trading partner connection and implement appropriate monitoring and controls. This includes reviewing data flows, authentication mechanisms, and implementing detection for anomalous transactions.

What about our warehouse automation?

We secure connected systems while ensuring they can still be remotely maintained when needed. This includes network segmentation, access controls, and monitoring for automated equipment and robotics.

Can you help after we've been attacked?

Yes. We provide incident response and help restore distribution operations as quickly as possible. Our team focuses on containment, eradication, and rapid recovery to minimize operational downtime.
