Modern logistics, especially air express transportation, has become an important bridge for global economic exchanges with its high efficiency and speed. However, while this field is developing rapidly, it is also facing a series of potential risks, among which cybersecurity threats cannot be ignored.

Take cyber attacks for example. They not only affect the operational efficiency of logistics companies, but can also lead to customer information leakage, which in turn triggers a crisis of trust. The serious cyber attack by the "Sandworm" organization is a typical example. It has brought a huge impact on related industries and made people begin to re-examine the close relationship between logistics and cyber security.

In the daily operation of logistics companies, a large amount of data is collected, stored and transmitted. From the source of goods to the destination, every link is inseparable from the support of information systems. These data contain sensitive content such as customer personal information, detailed information of goods, and transportation routes. Once the network security line is breached, these data may fall into the hands of criminals, causing immeasurable losses to customers and enterprises.

At the same time, cyber attacks may also paralyze the logistics system. For example, hackers may tamper with transportation instructions, making it impossible for goods to be delivered to the destination on time, disrupting the rhythm of the entire supply chain. This will not only affect the reputation of the company, but also cause economic losses to its partners.

In addition, as the digitalization of the logistics industry continues to increase, the widespread use of IoT technology has also brought new cybersecurity challenges. While emerging technologies such as smart warehousing equipment and driverless trucks improve logistics efficiency, they also increase the risk of attacks. If these devices are controlled by hackers, the consequences will be disastrous.

So, how to strengthen the network security protection of the logistics industry? First of all, enterprises should increase investment in network security technology, adopt advanced encryption technology, firewalls and intrusion detection systems to ensure the security and integrity of data. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a sound network security management system, formulate strict security strategies and operating procedures, strengthen employee network security awareness training, and make every employee a guardian of network security.

Government departments should also play a supervisory role, formulate relevant laws and regulations, and regulate the network security behavior of the logistics industry. Strengthen the crackdown on network attacks and create a safe and stable development environment for logistics companies.

In short, modern logistics is closely related to network security. Only by fully realizing this and taking effective measures to prevent it can we ensure the smooth progress of logistics business such as air express and safeguard the development of the economy.
