Business security expert will discuss Best Practices for protecting corporate supply chains from theft, terrorism, fraud, and other threats.
FAIR LAWN, N.J., April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WERC's Annual Conference and Solutions Center is where logistics professionals come to refuel on ideas, knowledge and solutions, joining their peers from across the country and beyond to discover excellence and innovation.
This year the conference will feature Barry Brandman, CEO of Danbee Investigations as a guest speaker. His seminar is, "It's a High-Risk World: Protecting Your Supply Chain from Sabotage, Theft, or Terrorism".
If a company is victimized because their asset protection safeguards are ineffective or antiquated, the financial consequences can be financially devastating, which is why security remains a hot-button topic for logistics executives.
Supply chain security breaches are happening with alarming frequency and all too often senior executives are shocked when they realize how easily their controls are being compromised. While narcotics and counterfeit goods are frequently smuggled into commercial shipments, a scenario involving a weapon of mass destruction is causing government security agencies extreme concern. In a post 9/11 world, the risk of having a corporate supply chain unknowingly used to transport contraband or lethal weapons is a genuine concern.
"Although most executives understand the importance of protecting their supply chains, they don't always know the most effective ways to do so," explains Barry Brandman. "What worked two or three years ago may well be obsolete today."
"As an organization that has been investigating supply chain breaches involving theft, smuggling, counterfeiting, fraud, sabotage, and product tampering for over 40 years, we have an in-depth understanding of the methods used to commit these crimes. Knowing which safeguards are more cosmetic than meaningful, and how to replace them with proven Best Practices is critical to effectively safeguarding the chain of custody of your goods in today's high-risk environment."
