October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and at Marten Transport, we know that protecting customer freight starts long before it ever hits the road. In today’s connected world, cybersecurity and cargo security go hand in hand.
As both a carrier and broker, we take extra steps to keep our customers’ freight and information protected:
- 🔐 Secure carrier vetting – Every carrier we work with is verified through strict compliance and safety checks to prevent double brokering and cargo theft.
- 📦 Shipment visibility and monitoring – Real-time tracking, verified dispatch, and communication protocols help ensure freight stays where it’s supposed to be.
- 💻 Cyber safeguards – Strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, and encrypted systems protect shipment data and documents.
- 🚨 Loss prevention partnership – Our team actively monitors for red-zone areas, suspicious activity, and theft alerts to prevent issues before they happen.
- 🧠 Employee and driver training – Continuous training helps our teams recognize phishing scams, fraudulent load postings, and other cyber risks.
Cyber threats evolve, but so do we. Together, we can keep our networks, our people, and our freight secure on every mile.
