Ensuring Smart Security in Global Supply Chains and Transportation Networks

Both supply chain and transportation environments require efficient throughput — 24/7 flow of people and goods. Smart security plays a crucial role in ensuring effective protection and business continuity. This paper examines best practices for security that apply to supply chains, airports, ports, and mass transit networks. Specifically, the components that comprise “smart security” for critical infrastructures are detailed: security master plan, security lifecycle, single command and control, integration, and open standards.
