Freight Cybersecurity

North America relies on trucks to deliver food, medicine, fuel, and the goods that keep economies moving. That makes the industry a growing target for cyberattacks that can disrupt operations and ripple across the entire supply chain.

That’s why the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc.® (NMFTA)™ is helping carriers, drivers, and industry partners identify vulnerabilities, stay ahead of emerging threats, and build the cybersecurity resilience needed to keep trucking moving safely.

Watch how we’re helping fleets stay cyber ready.

We represent more than 500 carriers operating over 200,000 trucks and generating roughly $100 billion in freight revenue. That’s a lot of trucks—and an enormous responsibility.

Every mile driven supports our nation’s supply chain. Protecting deliveries means protecting the networks, data, and systems that power them.

Cybersecurity isn’t a “tech issue.” It’s a trucking issue.

It’s about keeping freight flowing safely, reliably, and efficiently—no matter what’s ahead.

Trucking faces challenges that most industries never have to think about:

• Complex fleets: Most carriers run vehicles built from both original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and aftermarket technology, creating countless connection points that cybercriminals could exploit.
• Shared systems: Communication standards like SAE J1939 make it easier to mix and match parts and systems, but also opens new doors for risk.
• Ripple effects: When trucking stops, everything stops. That makes our industry a high-impact target.

Our mission is simple: Protect the enterprise side of trucking so the asset side never has to stop. NMFTA helps to ensure your loads get to where they’re going.
