The average value per theft has escalated dramatically, reaching $1 million per incident in the Americas. Criminals are employing advanced methods, including the use of insiders, GPS jammers, and cyber-attacks to pinpoint and steal high-value goods. Industries like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods are primary targets for these elaborate heists. Consequently, security experts are calling for urgent improvements in risk management and security protocols across the entire logistics industry.
