Executive-level insights to be shared at NMFTA’s Cybersecurity Conference this October
At the upcoming National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. (NMFTA)™ Cybersecurity Conference in Austin, TX, two dedicated sessions on cyber-enabled cargo theft will deliver focused, actionable value for executives in the trucking industry.
First, on Monday, October 27, 3:00-4:00 pm, the session “Cargo Theft: Lessons Learned” will feature seasoned professionals: Bellavance Trucking’s Casey Brown, Johnanson Transportation Service’s Steve Hankel, and Werner Enterprise’s Jordan Strawn, moderated by Joe Ohr (NMFTA). This closed-door panel session offers real-world case studies and firsthand examples of how criminals bypass security controls to defraud the industry and steal cargo. This valuable session will provide you with a “ground truth” understanding of the current and evolving attack methods and vulnerabilities observed in the field, enabling you to more effectively align risk mitigation strategies with the realities from the frontlines of the fight against cargo crime.
Then, on Tuesday, October 28, 1:00-1:45 pm, the session “Securing the Supply Chain: Industrial Insights into Combating the Complexities of Cargo Theft” will bring together a diverse panel including cargo-security professionals, law enforcement, brokers, and cybersecurity experts. This discussion will unpack the entire ecosystem of cyber-enabled cargo crime—covering prevention, detection, and response. The strategic benefit is clear: You’ll gain a comprehensive view of the threat landscape and insights into building stronger collaboration between law enforcement and operations teams to safeguard both assets and your organization’s reputation.
Together, these sessions will equip you with:
- A deeper understanding of how modern cyber-enabled cargo theft happens, grounded in real experience.
- Insight into effective prevention, detection, and response strategies.
- An informed basis for prioritizing your future investments in security controls, cross-departmental coordination, and external partnerships.
These sessions will provide you with both the strategic contextual knowledge and the practical perspective needed to defend your business against sophisticated criminals and their cyber-enabled cargo theft tactics.
