Logistics Security in the Era of Big Data, Cloud Computing and IoT

In the backdrop of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the use of new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, big data and cloud computing, this research paper intends to analyze the many cybersecurity concerns encountered by the logistics industry. This paper will offer insights into the main cybersecurity concerns affecting the logistics industry and explain viable ways for reducing these risks through a thorough study of recent research.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible to use smart devices that can gather and analyze massive volumes of data in real-time, giving logistical operations valuable information. But as IoT devices develop, the attack surface also grows, leaving logistical systems open to digital attacks. With the introduction of 5G networks, the connection is now quicker and more dependable, enabling real-time communication between IoT devices and making it easier to implement cutting-edge logistical systems.

Real-time data analysis is made possible through the scalable and secure infrastructure provided by cloud computing, which also improves the security of logistics systems. Security measures for logistics systems will grow more and more dependent on cybersecurity, IoT, 5G, big data, and cloud computing as logistics organizations continue to adopt digital technologies.
