Glossar

Data security refers to all technical and organizational measures taken to protect data from loss, manipulation, unauthorized access, or damage. It ensures that information is reliably stored, processed, and kept available.

Data security is particularly important in digital logistics processes, as systems such as ERP, WMS, TMS, and automated facilities continuously exchange data. Measures such as access controls, data backups, encryption, and secure system architectures protect sensitive process and corporate data. A high level of data security supports the reliable use of digital solutions and builds trust in networked logistics processes.

Practical example:

A logistics company protects the measurement and shipment data recorded by a WMS system through secure access controls and regular data backups.
