Belgium is facing a surge in cyberattacks affecting all sectors: healthcare, finance, industry, public services… and of course, transport and logistics. According to the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB), attempted cyber intrusions have increased by nearly 30% since the beginning of the year, reflecting growing pressure on businesses.
In the face of these threats, cybersecurity is no longer merely a technical issue but a strategic pillar. It underpins operational continuity, data protection, and customer trust.
At Van Mieghem Logistics, cybersecurity is a daily responsibility
For several years, Van Mieghem Logistics has chosen to implement a structured, scalable cybersecurity strategy aligned with industry best practices. This approach is built on several complementary pillars:
1. A responsive and autonomous in-house IT team
Our integrated IT team enables us to respond quickly and efficiently when needed. This setup allows for immediate incident response and close monitoring of the state of our digital infrastructure.
2. In-house developed tools for complete control
We use software solutions designed and managed in-house, ensuring greater sovereignty over our systems. This control strengthens the security of access, data flows, and processing.
3. A culture of security promoted at all levels
Because cybersecurity begins with the right habits, our employees are regularly trained and made aware of digital threats. Internal campaigns, vigilance tests, and reminders of best practices: our goal is to make every user an active part of our defense.
4. Regular audits and continuous external monitoring
We periodically conduct internal audits to verify the effectiveness of our measures and quickly address any potential vulnerabilities. In parallel, external audits are carried out by independent specialists who also ensure continuous monitoring of our systems. Thanks to this expert oversight and ongoing vigilance, we proactively adapt our measures to emerging threats.
5. A clear priority: the security of our clients’ data
The data entrusted to us by our clients is treated with rigorous care. Strict access management protocols, appropriate encryption measures, and continuous monitoring ensure a high level of protection throughout the entire digital logistics chain.
