GPS trackers on your vehicles and equipment reveal exactly where your valuable assets are at all times. Insecure trackers can expose this sensitive location data to criminals, competitors, or foreign actors.
Different trackers serve different purposes, but all expose location data that needs protection.
Track farm trucks, equipment haulers, and fleet vehicles
Monitor tractors, combines, and expensive machinery
Track dogs, cattle, horses, and other animals
Personal safety devices for family members
Location tracking data is more sensitive than many realize. Here's what exposed location data can reveal.
Tracking patterns reveal when equipment is unattended, routine schedules, and operational capacity
Criminals with access to tracking data can identify high-value equipment locations and optimal theft times
Competitors can learn about your operations, client locations, and business patterns
Equipment and vehicle data can reveal the value and condition of your assets
These trackers have known security issues or route data through untrusted infrastructure.

Whether choosing a new tracker or securing existing ones, follow these steps.
Confirm where your tracking data is stored and processed. Avoid services with servers in China or unknown locations.
Many trackers ship with default passwords like '123456'. Change these immediately if the device allows it.
Cellular trackers from reputable providers are generally more secure than WiFi-based alternatives.
Ensure your tracking service uses encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure data transmission.
Check the privacy policy for any data sharing with third parties or aggregation practices.
Review who has access to your tracking dashboard and remove former employees or unnecessary users.
