Greetings to each of you owner operators,
I need to create a Login.gov account for each of you and update your FMCSA login information in accordance to new security updates by December 1, 2023. The upfront cost for me to do so will be $125. This payment can be made via my website, www.brandbbridgetlhill.com under the Trucks In Traffic Tab or you may click here.
In light of the growing prevalence of cybersecurity breaches, the Biden administration issued a mandate requiring all federal agencies to conduct multifactor authentication (MFA) as part of the government’s zero trust security strategy.
In order to comply with this mandate and make its portal more secure, FMCSA has rolled out security updates that will impact motor carriers. All FMCSA portal users will need to update their log-in information this month. The process involves creating a login.gov account and then setting up an additional layer of security for that account.
Cybersecurity is a growing concern across industries. In the transportation and logistics space, cyberattacks can wreak havoc on day-to-day operations, leading to an avalanche of disruptions and delays.
The Washington State Department of Transportation experienced this firsthand earlier this month. The agency’s website which allows users to track ferries and check the changing status of mountain passes was down for days after it was targeted in a cyberattack, causing rampant confusion for visitors, commuters and transportation professionals alike.
