About Fleet Defender
Fleet Defender provides cyber defence and safety for fleet vehicles. It sells to fleet operators and offers a platform that lets them run vehicles at any time and place without worrying about compromise. The company operates a Vehicle Security Operations Center that handles incident response around the clock. It also uses advanced artificial intelligence at the edge. The platform detects and stops cyber threats aimed at fleet vehicles as they happen. It removes the need for older security tools and separate monitoring systems. Users get full visibility and control through in-vehicle defence, so they can sort and rank threats accurately. The system watches for unauthorised Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and IP connections, port scans, malware and malicious commands. Beyond cyber threats, Fleet Defender addresses asset protection. It spots and reacts to fuel and trailer issues in real time, finds theft patterns and flags odd trailer activity. This covers trailer theft, trailer tampering, cargo theft, fuel theft and dwell time. The company is based in Omaha, Nebraska, and lists Werner Enterprises among its users.
