GREAT video from CNBC (thank you PCSC) regarding the challenges of cargo theft in the United States today : https://lnkd.in/g83k_MVr #cargotheft #supplychainsecurity #PCSC #cargosecurity #thewidupgroup

A highly recommended watch: an overview on how cargo thieves are stealing millions of dollars’ worth of goods every year, and how the US industry is fighting back. 💸💸💸😣 Unfortunately, cargo theft is at “unprecedented levels”, and up nearly 58% from 2022 to 2023. Experts say it will still go worse, including an evolution towards strategic theft such as fraudulent impersonation of people or companies. 😑 And, to top it all, the straight attack on trucks and containers, whether to take control over them or perform pilferage, slash-and-grab or other variations of a total or partial robbery of the goods. This CNBC video also explores solutions being put into place to fight against cargo crime with 4 main categories: ➡ Operation measures ➡ Smart technology ➡ Data analysis ➡ Collaboration. Watch the video here (or click below): https://lnkd.in/dt4Di49D ---- But wait a second! As you see, unfortunately, the locking solutions mentioned are in no way intended to stop criminals: the focus in put again in tracking and alarm systems. These are great to react in case of a break-in, but they are in no way deterrent to prevent your container being opened. If you wish to truly protect your container and truck doors and have control over all locks and keys from your laptop, we recommend you the use of heavy-duty smart locks: ✅Heavy duty and patented locking mechanism: a true deterrent. ✅Smartphone as a key: each key-action assigned to a person; no traditional keys forged, stolen or lost. ✅Full remote management: your laptop is the control room. ✅24/7 audit trail: all key actions logged on your system.
