Logistics Cyber Resiliency Lessons from NOTAM Disruption
Meet the Experts
Key Takeaways
⇨ As supply chain and logistics processes get more and more automated, the importance of cyber resiliency increases.
⇨ Cyber resiliency needs to be embedded in the design of end-to-end supply chain and logistics system architectures.
⇨ The recent brief disruption of NOTAM provides few lessons that can be leveraged to design cyber resilient logistics systems.
It is beyond doubt that logistics, specifically transportation, acts as the backbone of supply chains in many industries. And often, in the corporate world, we forget that some of the largest logistics and transportation networks are run by federal agencies. And in many cases, there are best practices that these public organizations have developed that the corporate world can leverage. Similarly, lessons learned from any hiccups in this world can also be leveraged into the corporate world to build better supply chain processes and systems. The recent brief failure of NOTAM is one such example. NOTAM is a critical system used for all operating all domestic flights, and the data it generates is data that pilots must examine before take-off. The system had a brief failure earlier this week, leading to thousands of flights getting stranded for hours across the U.S. In this article, we will review the key lessons we can learn to design more resilient logistics systems in the corporate world.
