Definition & Explanation

Unlike preventive security measures that block attacks, a threat response workflow defines how logistics organizations act when a disruption or security incident actually occurs. The process typically unfolds in four stages: (1) automated or manual detection of the anomaly (e.g., unexpected system failures, suspicious access), (2) immediate notification of relevant stakeholders, (3) risk assessment (what damage is at risk, how many shipments are affected), (4) escalation and execution of countermeasures (system shutdown, shipment halt, customer notification). An established workflow minimizes response time and damage – critical, for instance, in temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments or highly sensitive customs transactions.
