Key Takeaways

• Tactical Fraud Prevention: Jennifer protects her freight brokerage against impersonation fraud by verifying driver's licenses, driver cell numbers, and tractor/trailer numbers directly with both shippers and receivers .

• Low-Tech Security Measures: Simple solutions, such as dropping Apple AirTags onto high-value cannabis pallets, provided effective real-time tracking during logistics operations .

• The Shipper's Role in Freight Theft: Shippers must become much more vigilant by checking driver identities and vehicle numbers before loading expensive cargo, rather than leaving security entirely to brokers and carriers .

• Restricting AI Access: AI tools should be treated like new employees using the principle of least privilege; giving AI unchecked access to emails or shared folders exposes sensitive company data .

• The Importance of Vendor Vetting: Utilizing vendor vetting frameworks allows non-technical business owners to ask critical security questions, establishing due diligence and proof of risk management .
