Cybersecurity Spend Target

Industry best practice for Transportation & Logistics is to allocate 8% of your IT budget to cybersecurity. Based on your current IT budget, that's approximately $4K/year dedicated to security tools, training, and managed services — well below what your risk profile calls for.

Fleet management, GPS, and supply chain software create significant attack surfaces. Ransomware targeting logistics companies has surged.
