Logistics security: The 2023 threat landscape for land-based logistics

European logistics operations faced serious security and economic threats in 2022, disrupting their regular operations. Cargo theft, violent robberies, and activism were highlighted as the three most important threats to logistics companies by Risk Intelligence's LandRisk Logistics product.

The analysis and discussion in this whitepaper revealed that cargo theft has been and will continue to be the greatest threat to logistical operations in the coming months. However, the threat landscape for 2023 is more complex and extends beyond conventional cargo crime.  

It is recommended that logistics companies concentrate on fuel thefts from vehicles and violent cargo robberies, as well as implementing countermeasures against disruptions caused by activism.  

This whitepaper provides key findings for the three main topics, makes informed forecasts on how the threat landscape might shift in the future, and offers solutions that can be applied by logistics companies to mitigate the identified risks.
