The New Age of Cargo Theft & Montgomery SCOTUS Decision

Cargo theft continues to evolve at an alarming pace, driven by increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes, organized criminal networks, and vulnerabilities across the transportation and logistics chain. Join industry subject matter experts for a timely discussion examining today’s cargo theft landscape and the implications of the recent Montgomery Supreme Court decision on underwriting, claims, and risk management practices.

This session will explore emerging theft tactics, shifting legal considerations, and practical strategies organizations can implement to strengthen controls and reduce exposure. Featured experts will also discuss the industry’s recommended four-point program — vetting, verification, monitoring, and confirmation — as the core framework for combating fraudulent activity and improving operational security. Attendees will gain insight into current industry practices, evolving expectations around verification and monitoring, and actionable approaches to enhancing due diligence throughout the supply chain.
