Echo Global Logistics runs a technology-enabled transportation management platform that connects shippers with carriers across every major mode - truckload, LTL, intermodal, the works. The attack surface is national: a coast-to-coast, dock-to-dock network spanning brokerage, warehouse operations, and temperature-controlled freight. When your logistics stack touches that many endpoints, the threat model isn't theoretical. It's about securing the real-time data pipelines between clients and carriers, protecting shipment visibility APIs, and keeping warehouse management systems from becoming lateral movement paths.
The core technical domain centers on the transportation management platform itself - the engine that orchestrates load matching, pricing, tracking, and carrier onboarding at scale. This is logistics tech, not fintech or adtech, but the data flowing through it (shipper identities, routing details, pricing intelligence, operational telemetry) carries real operational risk if compromised. The company operates nationwide across the United States, providing truckload brokerage alongside expanded transportation management solutions and a national warehouse footprint.
Security work here means defending infrastructure that's simultaneously digital and physical. The warehouse layer introduces OT-adjacent concerns; the carrier network means third-party risk management isn't a checkbox exercise. Echo positions itself as simplifying logistics complexity through technology - securing that simplification layer is the job.
