Top Cyber Risks Facing Trucking Fleets and How Coverage Helps 

As California’s trucking industry becomes more digitally connected and dependent on technology, the risks associated with cyber threats are growing rapidly. Cyber incidents can disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data and lead to significant financial losses. That’s why it’s essential to recognize the top cyber risks facing trucking fleets and to know how the right insurance coverage can help your business.

Common Cyber Threats in Trucking

Trucking fleets may face a vast and unique array of cyber risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Ransomware attacks—Cybercriminals may target fleet management systems, GPS tracking, or dispatch software, locking you out of critical data until a ransom is paid.
• Data breaches—Personal information about drivers, clients and shipments can be exposed if your systems are compromised, leading to regulatory fines and reputational harm.
• Phishing scams—Employees may receive fraudulent emails designed to steal login credentials or install malware, putting your entire network at risk.
• Telematics system hacks—Modern trucks rely on telematics for route planning and vehicle diagnostics. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities to disrupt operations or even manipulate vehicle controls.
• Supply chain attacks—Cybercriminals may target your partners or vendors, using their access to infiltrate your systems.
