As theft becomes more organized and sophisticated, the stakes for shippers, truckers, IMCs, and railroads have never been higher. But securing your landside operations goes far beyond locks and guards. It requires smarter infrastructure, advanced IoT technology, and a coordinated strategy across your intermodal supply chain.
In this session, Chris Haas from Blume Global and Robert Strenk from SecurSpace join Sarah Barnes-Humphrey (Let’s Talk Supply Chain) to unpack the scale of the $35 billion cargo theft crisis and share real-world solutions that are helping stakeholders protect freight at rest and in transit.
You’ll walk away with a practical understanding of how to assess security gaps, deploy IoT-based visibility, and implement secure parking and yard practices to reduce risks and improve resilience.
What you will learn:
- Why “cargo at rest is cargo at risk” and what infrastructure fixes can reduce theft exposure.
- How IoT technologies like geofencing, live location tracking, and door-open alerts can help detect and prevent theft in real time.
- What makes a secure industrial outdoor storage facility, and how to assess your yard’s security posture.
- How integrated platforms like CargoWise Landside bring visibility, accountability, and agility to your landside operations.
