Cargo theft in Canada is becoming increasingly sophisticated, with cyber-enabled tactics creating new vulnerabilities across the transportation and logistics sector. This session will provide an overview of emerging cargo theft trends in Canada, with a focus on the growing cross-border implications for carriers and load brokers operating throughout North America. As supply chains become more interconnected, understanding these evolving threats is critical for organizations on both sides of the border.
Attendees will gain insight into current cargo theft statistics, commonly targeted commodities, and the methods used by threat actors, including exploitation of load broker platforms and yard shopping tactics. The session will also examine cybersecurity risks associated with advancing transportation technologies, including autonomous vehicles. The presentation will conclude with practical mitigation strategies, ranging from operational “boots-on-the-ground” safeguards to scalable cybersecurity and risk management measures designed to strengthen resilience across the supply chain.
