Cybersecurity portal to fight bad guys open for business: NMFTA
The NMFTA has launched its threat portal, where targets of successful and unsuccessful cyberattacks can share their stories. The post Cybersecurity portal to fight bad guys open for business: NMFTA appeared first on FreightWaves .
Long Beach, California--At the National Motor Freight Traffic Association's cybersecurity conference, speakers stressed the need for cooperation to combat cybercriminals. This theme echoed the 2025 version of the NMFTA's conference, which led to the creation of the Threat Report Portal. The portal allows companies who have experienced or prevented a cyberattack to share their experiences anonymously.
Ben Wilkens, the NMFTA's director of cybersecurity, launched the portal in May and aims for more user engagement. The portal focuses on Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) and Indicator of Compromise (IOC) to help identify and prevent future attacks. The anonymous nature of the portal addresses concerns about exposing individuals or organizations.
Reports are vetted by the NMFTA before being published to ensure legitimacy. As of early June, 100 companies had registered for the portal, ranging from large shippers and 3PLs to small carriers.
