As theft, tampering, counterfeiting, and cargo diversion surge across global trade lanes, freight security has become a critical pillar of pharma supply chain resilience. With high-value products, temperature-controlled shipments, and increasingly complex distribution networks, pharmaceutical companies face escalating threats and growing pressure to modernize their security strategies. In this candid, solutions-oriented discussion, senior supply chain leaders will explore how to protect high-value freight across every mile of transit. From mitigating organized cargo theft to improving visibility and chain-of-custody integrity, this panel will share practical approaches and emerging tools needed to safeguard product, brand, and patient trust.

• Implement real-time visibility and chain-of-custody tools to proactively detect and prevent shipment risks.
• Strengthen security protocols across carriers, 3PLs, and high-risk lanes through standardized SLAs and partner accountability.
• Mitigate emerging threats with risk-based freight security strategies aligned to product value, temperature requirements, and regulatory expectations.
