Texas 4. Level 3
Supply chain cargo theft has entered a new era—one defined not by stolen trucks, but by fraud, identity deception, and cyber‑enabled schemes targeting high‑value retail shipments. In 2025 alone, losses surged nearly 60% to $725 million, despite flat incident volume, as criminal networks shifted to strategic theft tactics like fictitious pickups, broker scams, and bill‑of‑lading manipulation.
In this fast‑paced session, data experts and retail practitioners will break down how these schemes work, where supply chains are most vulnerable, and which countermeasures are proving effective right now. Attendees will leave with practical guidance on carrier vetting, pickup verification, and real‑time risk visibility—along with a clearer picture of what it takes to prevent six‑ and seven‑figure losses in 2026.
