21st Annual Freight and Logistics Symposium: Freight and Cybersecurity

About the Event

Cybersecurity has become a key concern for the freight and logistics industry in an increasingly connected and automated world. A significant challenge is balancing information privacy and security with the industry’s need for usable, reliable data to produce expected benefits. In particular, potential improvements in safety, efficiency, and freight flow make it critical for Minnesota to invest in the development of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and tackle the complex cybersecurity issues that come with such progress.
