Brake Check: The AI-Powered Threats Your Supply Chain Didn't See Coming 

DATE:
Wednesday, September 30
TIME:
1:00-2:00 pm
LOCATION:
Bixby 1, 2, & 5

DURATION:
1 hour

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming supply chain operations—but it is also creating new opportunities for cybercriminals. From AI-generated deepfakes to agentic AI-driven social engineering schemes, emerging technologies are being weaponized to exploit human judgment, manipulate communications, and facilitate increasingly sophisticated cargo theft attacks. Traditional security controls alone are no longer enough to defend against threats designed to target people rather than systems.

This session will provide supply chain leaders with practical insight into how AI-powered threats are already impacting transportation and logistics operations. Attendees will explore real-world attack scenarios, identify critical vulnerabilities within supply chain communications, and examine why human decision-making has become a primary attack surface. The presentation will challenge conventional assumptions about cybersecurity and provide actionable strategies for recognizing, mitigating, and defending against these evolving threats. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how AI is reshaping cargo theft risk—and what steps they can take now to strengthen resilience across their operations.
