Technological advancements like RFID and GPS have revolutionized supply chain management, providing visibility and rapid response capabilities, but also increasing risks such as cyber threats. A combination of physical barriers, technological solutions, and procedural controls creates redundancies that enhance resilience against threats like theft and tampering. 

Collaboration among stakeholders, including shippers, carriers, and regulatory authorities, is key to successful security, with transparent communication fostering standardized protocols across the supply chain. 

Human capital is essential, as trained personnel conduct inspections and respond to suspicious activity. Tools like custom holograms and tamper-evident labels are highlighted for authentication, helping to combat counterfeit products. Recent initiatives, like the White House's Council on Supply Chain Resilience, aim to strengthen supply chains through cross-governmental collaboration. 

By embracing these strategies, businesses can secure their supply chains and maintain consumer confidence. NovaVision’s expert team prepared this white paper to deliver actionable solutions for cargo security and asset protection.
