Recently, we learned of a troubling incident: an employee at one of our client companies was sharing his TrakIT credentials with a competitor. This unauthorised access exposed highly confidential operational data — information that should never have left the organisation.
This case highlights a critical truth: even well‑intentioned businesses can be vulnerable when access controls rely solely on usernames and passwords.
The Hidden Risk of Shared Credentials
- Passwords are fragile. They can be guessed, stolen, or shared.
- Human behaviour is unpredictable. Even trusted employees may act carelessly or maliciously.
- Data exposure is costly. In logistics, confidential information about shipments, clients, and workflows is a competitive advantage. Losing control of that data can damage trust, reputation, and revenue.
The Solution: Two‑Factor Authentication (TFA)
The good news is that this risk is preventable. TrakIT supports Two‑Factor Authentication (TFA), giving you an extra layer of protection beyond passwords.
With TFA enabled:
- Users must verify their identity using a second factor (such as a mobile app or code).
- Even if credentials are shared or stolen, unauthorised access is blocked.
- Administrators gain peace of mind knowing sensitive data is safeguarded.
Activating TFA is simple: you can enable it for each user directly in the User Management module.
Protect What Matters Most
TrakIT is the backbone of your operations. It holds client data, shipment details, and workflow intelligence that competitors would love to see. Don’t let that information fall into the wrong hands.
Ensure your employees have the right permissions and roles to access only what they need to.
By combining trust with technology safeguards, you ensure that your business remains resilient, secure, and client‑focused.
Enable Two‑Factor Authentication in TrakIT - because trust should be supported by protection.
Closing Thought
Trust your employees. But protect your business.
