About This Webinar
Port security has never been more complex to maintain and the consequences for exposure have never been more consequential. Port authorities must defend themselves on multiple fronts, with threats appearing in the sky, beneath the water and across cyberspace. Policing new frontiers – opened by sophisticated drones, relentless hackers, and inventive smugglers – requires a new kind of strategic thinking, and an increased reliance on cross-industry support networks.

In this webinar, you will hear from experts at the frontline of port security, with practical guidance on how to keep the supply chain safe and secure in an evolving threat landscape. After all, there are plenty of hiding places for bad actors – but none for port authorities facing intense public and media scrutiny.
