Cybersecurity for raw materials businesses
Protect materials businesses from payment fraud, compromised email, and ransomware with MFA, segmented networks, tested backups, and payment verification.
Raw materials businesses process large, frequent payments to fuel suppliers, equipment dealers, and haulers, and receive large payments from contractors and buyers. That makes them attractive targets for business email compromise, where attackers redirect payments with convincing emails.
We focus on the controls that stop the most common attacks, including MFA on email and banking, removal of shared and stale accounts, verification of every payment change by phone, segmented networks for equipment and cameras, and backups that restore.
Things to keep in mind
- Field staff often share devices. Give each person their own sign-in.
- Equipment vendors' remote access should be limited and logged.
- Plan security work outside the busiest shipping season.
How it works
Assess
Review accounts, devices, networks, backups, and how payment changes are approved.
Lock down accounts
Enforce MFA and remove unused or shared logins.
Verify payments
Require a call-back to a known number for any change to bank details.
Back up and test
Protect accounting and operating data with tested restores.
Frequently asked questions
