France’s supply chain and logistics sector operates at the intersection of physical movement, digital coordination, and time-critical execution. Unlike many industries, cybersecurity here must protect distributed networks of warehouses, transport systems, partners, and customers while maintaining uninterrupted flow of goods. Security leaders in this space focus on resilience, operational continuity, fraud prevention, and secure integration across highly interconnected ecosystems.
