Danger lurks in the shadows of the supply chain. Tive's new livestream series with Supply Chain Now rips away the veil, exposing the hidden threats to freight security that keep industry leaders up at night. Our first episode on September 12 was just the beginning of tackling the complex challenges that plague modern logistics.
If you missed our debut, don't sweat it—we're only getting started, and you can watch the replay here. But brace yourself for Episode 2, where we'll plunge even deeper into the abyss of evolving threats and cutting-edge defenses.
Episode 1: "Unpacking Cargo Security: Defining What Puts Freight at Risk"
In the kickoff episode of this new livestream series, Scott Luton from Supply Chain Now and Karin Bursa of NIRAKIO teamed up with Richie Daigle from Tive to give viewers a no-nonsense look at the often murky world of cargo security—and what it really takes to keep freight safe and moving. The trio dug deep into the real issues that plague shippers: from everyday equipment breakdowns to the more underhanded tactics such as double brokering and cargo theft. They broke down complex topics without jargon, making it engaging whether you're a seasoned logistics pro or just curious about why your shipment seems to be on a world tour with Taylor Swift.
Recap of Episode 1
Scott, Karin, and Richie's eye-opening discussion took us on a trip through the risky world of modern logistics, while clarifying key definitions and buzzy terms in the world of cargo security. The conversation revealed a minefield of potential risks that keep supply chain managers tossing and turning, beyond just theft. Natural disasters, cyberattacks, and even geopolitical tensions are all gunning for your cargo. With the breakdown of accidental versus intentional risk, the trio drew a clear line between Murphy's Law mishaps and calculated sabotage—both of which can turn a smooth operation into a costly nightmare.
Their chat wasn't all doom and gloom, though—it was a rallying cry for smarter, more adaptable logistics strategies. In the end, their message was clear: in the modern logistics game, the spoils go to the smartest shippers, not just the fastest.
Key Takeaways from Episode 1
The chat broke down supply chain security in a way everyone in the industry can grasp. It covered the basics, sure, but it also dug up some sneaky risks most folks miss. There were no boring lectures here—just real-world tips to keep things running smoothly. Viewers learned how to spot trouble before it starts, to successfully handle whatever chaos global shipping throws their way. By the end, everyone had a toolbox of practical skills to keep goods flowing, ready to face whatever challenges might pop up.
