The CLDA hosted its second annual Virtual Shippers Exchange on Wednesday, March 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET via Zoom. At this members-only* networking event attendees participated in three shipper-carrier roundtable sessions lasting 50 minutes with participants grouped by the vertical they are most interested in. Shippers were asked to explain their verticals and what they look for in a successful partnership with a carrier. Carriers were given the opportunity to introduce themselves and speak to their companies and geographic areas of service. Shippers and carriers were then encouraged to engage in discussions on how they can best partner to meet each others needs.

Join CLDA for a live webinar on Wednesday, November 3 at 1:00 pm EDT to learn how to identify and defend against cybersecurity attacks from industry leaders.
Transportation & logistics presents a tempting target to ransomware gangsters for several reasons. One, the effects of a successful ransomware attack are felt well outside the business itself, disrupting the supply chains of hundreds to potentially thousands of other businesses, ratcheting up the pressure to quickly pay and restore service. Two, the highly interconnected nature of the business (which intersects at various points with smaller forwarders as well as suppliers, producers and retailers) presents multiple points of malware infiltration. If they find a weak link, ransomware can spread quickly along the chain of systems. Three, relatively low margins have made it difficult to justify investments in cybersecurity infrastructure in the absence of a debilitating attack.
Registration is open to the public, but you must register in advance.
