Examining sea, land, and air transportation systems and linkages, Logistics and Transportation Security: A Strategic, Tactical, and Operational Guide to Resilience
provides thorough coverage of transportation security. Its topics
include hazardous material handling, securing transportation networks,
logistics essentials, supply chain security, risk assessment, the
regulatory framework, strategic planning, and innovation through
technology. This book is not a prescriptive how-to manual. It
begins with a discussion of the differences between safety and security
before advancing through a developmental learning curve encompassing a
wide range of subjects. It discusses global threats such as terrorism
and piracy as well as current regulatory mandates and technological
applications, including the latest threat to logistics security,
cyber-attack. The book also examines the benefits of synergy
between the public and private sectors, using a number of case studies
and interviews to illustrate increasing collaboration and benefits. It assists
a broad range of transportation professionals, security professionals,
logistics outfits, and policy makers with assessing the benefits of
proactive security measures and with verifying security-associated risks
and consequences.
