Securing Supply Chains: Ethical Hacking in Logistics and Distribution

Today, we have digitalization of all the processes in the supply-chain management, and it is therefore paramount to have robust security measures. This paper looks into the security of logistics and distribution systems by putting ethical hacking techniques to work. This study emphasizes phishing attacks. A fake Facebook login page that mimics the original one is a chosen platform where different vulnerabilities can be spotted and necessary measures at the moment of ensuring are taken into account. This study evaluates the ability to detect and simulate attacks, the strength of the current security systems and the proposed solutions for those weaknesses. Some solutions contain implementing multi-factor authentication and training users to be cautious in the process of using the network. Proactively targeting vulnerabilities is arguably the most basic approach to placemaking which makes the supply chain systems strong to withstand cyber threats.
