Abstract

Security in international logistics is a critical factor that influences the efficiency, reliability, and safety of global supply chains. As international trade expands, so do the associated risks, including theft, terrorism, piracy, and cybercrime. These security threats have far-reaching consequences for businesses, consumers, and national economies. This paper examines the importance of security in international logistics, exploring the various challenges faced by the sector and the measures implemented to mitigate these risks. It highlights the role of technologies such as GPS and RFID in enhancing security, as well as international initiatives like the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. Furthermore, the paper discusses the growing concern of cyber threats and the need for robust cybersecurity measures within logistics operations. Despite these efforts, challenges remain, especially the lack of uniform security standards across different countries. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of continued collaboration between governments, businesses, and international organizations to ensure secure and efficient international logistics operations.
