Fleet Defender, Platform Science, and Werner® Collaborate to Deploy Neural Sentinel for Real-Time Cybersecurity and Safety Monitoring Across Entire Fleet

Advanced Software-Only Solution Provides Rapid, Scalable Cyber Threat Detection and Response Through Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle Platform

Fleet Defender, a total platform intelligence company known for bringing real-time safety and cyber threat detection capabilities to commercial fleet vehicles, announced its collaboration with Werner, a premier transportation and logistics company, to deploy Fleet Defender’s Neural Sentinel across Werner’s entire fleet of vehicles. Neural Sentinel, a cutting-edge anomaly detection solution, integrates into Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle platform, enabling software-only deployments directly into each vehicle without the need for additional hardware.

Through this work, Neural Sentinel’s powerful artificial intelligence models provide real-time monitoring, detecting potential cybersecurity threats and safety risks from within each vehicle. The integration with Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle infrastructure further enables Neural Sentinel to deliver its capabilities as a software-only solution, simplifying deployment and allowing for fleet-wide adoption in minutes rather than months. With this real-time protection and monitoring, Werner’s fleet managers will be equipped with immediate insights and alerts through Fleet Defender’s cloud-based Virtual Security Operations Center (VSOC), providing an unparalleled level of control and security.

“Our mission at Fleet Defender is to enable fleets to operate their vehicles anytime, anywhere without fear of compromise,” said Terry Reinert, CEO of Fleet Defender. “By working with Werner and integrating into Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle platform, we’re delivering on that mission. Platform Science enables fleet-wide adoption of Neural Sentinel incredibly fast and efficiently. Now, fleet operators can access real-time intelligence and respond to threats against their vehicles immediately, improving both security and operational continuity.”

Scott Kopchinsky, VP of Engineering at Platform Science, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “The integration of Neural Sentinel into our Virtual Vehicle platform is a powerful example of how our technology can bring innovative solutions to fleets without the need for additional hardware installations. By working with Fleet Defender and Werner, we’re enabling fleets to respond to cybersecurity and safety challenges faster and more effectively. Together, we’re setting a new standard for fleet safety and cybersecurity that will shape the future of transportation.”

Daragh Mahon, executive vice president and chief information officer of Werner, also expressed his support: “We prioritize the safety and security of our professional drivers, vehicles and cargo, and this collaboration reflects our commitment to innovation in those areas. With Neural Sentinel and Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle platform, our fleet managers gain a real-time view of potential threats and safety concerns, allowing us to respond proactively and maintain our high standards of safety and efficiency. This technology is a crucial addition to our operational strategy.”

With Neural Sentinel deployed through Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle platform, Werner now can monitor their vehicles for cyber and safety incidents in real-time, reinforcing the company’s dedication to providing secure, efficient and safe transportation services. This relationship underscores Fleet Defender’s commitment to advancing fleet cybersecurity and safety and highlights Platform Science’s role in enabling rapid, software-only deployment for fleets of all sizes.
