Damco is a Dutch company founded in Denmark with offices all over the
globe
and
dedicated to freight forwarding and su
pply chain management. The company has a well
-
known reputation in the market since
it
is one of the companies
pertaining
to the Maersk
Group.
Companies such as
El Corte
Inglés, Walmart
,
and
Hasbro
,
can be found as
clients
.
Damco’s mission is to
deliver a n
ew perspective for their new
customers
at the
same time as they embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and understanding with the
help of new technologies. Its success comes from getting the best option for their
customers, which means providing top qualit
y supply chain management and freight
forwarding services.
Nonetheless
,
neither Damco nor
any of the companies of the Maersk Group were
prepared
for
the cyber
-
attack occurred
on
27
th
June. The
fact that a
computer
virus
such
as the
NotPetya
would appear a
nd infect
the
whole informatic
infrastruc
tu
re
of various
companies
leaving
the
m
without the ability to work and the access to most of their files
is a high risk
that nobody
consider
ed
.
After a hard month of
recovery
,
the company was
back in
business
as usu
al.
H
owever
,
the impact of the attack had
caus
ed major issues for
the company.
T
he mentioned issues
are
translated
into
losses of around
$
300
million for
the Maersk Group.
The main objective of this project is to
show how
any company but specifically
the
s
hipping industry
(freight forwarding, logistics, and supply chain management)
is really
vulnerable
to new threats
.
Furthermore, it is an attempt to raise
awareness of the dangers
that can occur in a
company when sensitive data
is
entrust
ed
in technology
.
N
owadays,
t
he
use of the internet
and t
echnology
ha
s
changed
how international trade works
. Apart
from that, it has
also
changed
the
method
of working in the freight forwarding industry
.
For instance, it has made
easier the
approach
that companies have when
it comes to
send
ing
the necessary documentation or the
technique
of requesting shipping
instructions.
Nevertheless,
the internet
has
a
great power and with that
power
,
great
responsibility
comes
.
In order to
introduce
a contingency plan
,
the
background
kn
owledge
about the company
and the freight forwarding industry will be
given.
T
hen, the type of attack that th
e
company suffered is d
epicted
.
Also
,
the
consequences
that the company had to face will
be explained. Finally, a contingency plan will be given at
the same time as
good uses of
technologies are
introduced. [-]
