As a current or prospective CTPAT member, it's essential to exercise due diligence and maintain multi-layered security throughout your supply chain. However, one frequently overlooked area is the digital realm. Terrorist groups have recognized the opportunities within this new frontier and are exploiting companies globally. Taking proactive steps to safeguard your company's digital infrastructure not only protects your business but also contributes to national security.
