If your job is even remotely related to the transport of your company’s pharmaceutical or biologics products, you need to be familiar with the Supply Chain-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (SC-ISAC). That’s because this organization has been collecting and analyzing cargo-theft data for industries just like yours since 2005. And don’t be naive — thieves are targeting your products.

What you need to do is use the insights gleaned from the SC-ISAC’s data to better understand how cargo is targeted and then drive that awareness to your logistic providers. Having such a proactive, preventative approach to your supply-chain logistics is essential to avoiding the costly recovery fees associated with stolen product and equipment.
