   The overall security of trailers and shipping containers could be significantly improved by implementing secure access control solutions, experts in the field have argued recently.

   A layered approach to security is the most effective solution for controlling and managing movement in and out of a trailer or container, Tom Mann, president of a cargo security firm, notes. “Cargo protection starts with access control and managing access to ensure load integrity,” he says, “and to avoid an even inadvertent loss of cargo resulting from an unauthorized door opening.”
