Softpak advises: is your digital front door properly secured?

In a world where the logistics chain is becoming increasingly reliant on digital data, the risk of cybercrime is also growing. Hacking and ransomware are no longer just a distant concern, but a daily reality costing the sector billions. Recently, several logistics operators have been hit by ransomware attacks. For example, the Port of Nagoya, AB Texel and Kuehne + Nagel fell victim to large-scale cyberattacks with a severe operational impact.

These incidents underscore ABN AMRO’s warning that the transport and logistics sector is a vulnerable link. With a rise of more than 40 per cent in the number of attacks, cybercriminals are specifically targeting our sector, as they know that every minute of downtime costs money directly. At Softpak, we understand that your data forms the foundation of your organisation. That is why we are committed to a multi-layered security strategy that maximises your digital resilience.

Our three pillars of digital resilience

Multi-Factor Authenticatie (MFA)

An extra lock on the door
Add an extra layer of security to the login process and prevent unauthorised access, even if passwords are compromised.

✅ Easy to set up for each employee via the Authenticator app
✅ Use of Microsoft or Google Authenticator
✅ Additional verification code for every login
✅ Protection against phishing and data breaches

Single Sign On (SSO)

Secure and efficient login
Integrate Softpak with your Active Directory and allow staff to log in securely using their existing Windows account.

✅ Centralised user management via Active Directory
✅ Only one password required
✅ Faster onboarding and offboarding
✅ Immediate account suspension upon leaving the organisation

Backup & Restore

Test your backup procedures annually
A backup is only valuable if you can be sure it will work when it really matters.

✅ Progress Database Backups (100% reliable)
✅ After-Imaging: recovery down to the last transaction
✅ Testing is key: restore in a test environment
✅ 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 media types, 1 off-site

Security tips via your password policy

In addition to our MFA and SSO solutions, Softpak offers comprehensive standard features to optimise security directly through password policies. Within the settings, you can specify, amongst other things:

✅ Limit login attempts: Set the number of attempts after which an account is blocked.

✅ Strong passwords: Mandatory length, upper-case letters, lower-case letters, numbers and symbols.

✅ Password expiry: Specify after how many days a password expires and/or whether old passwords may be reused.

✅ Test regularly: Test your backups and procedures from time to time so that you are prepared for the unexpected.
