·       FIATA最佳實務指引 - 防範網路犯罪

Cybercrime is a risk from of failure of information technology systems. It may take various forms, such as phishing, spear fishing, malware, mandate fraud or ransomware. There have been many cyber-related incidents reported in the last 5 years, with a smaller number of very high profile cases within the logistics and freight forwarding sector. With current business relying substantively on IT systems, disruption in or suspended operation of IT systems, breach in customer and shipment database can dramatically disrupt shipment operations, communication with clients, carriers and sub-contractors, resulting in monetary losses and possible legal liabilities.

In view of requests from FIATA membership, the threats brought by cybercrime and requirements from new government policies and legislation, FIATA Advisory Body Legal Matters (ABLM) prepared the subject best practices to raise awareness of the industry regarding the threats and risks of cybercrime.
