IBM Research's Secure Trade Lane Solution Concept Helps Facilitate a More Secure Exchange of Container-Based Goods Shipped Worldwide

Tags:
security management

Overview Criminal and terrorist threats pose a significant challenge to the trade and cargo industries, which are urgently searching for new ways to establish a more secure global logistic chain across a complex, and often conflicting, network of manufacturers, distributors, freight forwarders, port authorities, ocean carriers and distribution centers. Closing the gap between stakeholders, embedding security across the logistics chain and providing critical data at every point of interaction with container-based goods would go a long way towards a more secure shipping trade. Experts at the IBM Research Lab in Zurich set out to meet these goals by developing a solution that addresses the logistical and physical challenges inherent in an end-to-end, secure trade chain.
