MEET THE BOARD (continued)


When the world changes as rapidly as it does today, one of the greatest challenges is to develop standards and programs that are relevant and will continue to serve the requirements of businesses. There are more new modus operandi in product diversion, risks, threats and opportunities that can ultimately test how strong and resilient the end-to-end supply chain is, as well as the bond between buyers, LSPs, SSPs and law enforcement agencies. Apart from TAPA’s popular FSR and TSR programs, based on feedback gathered from our members and industry, TAPA APAC will be introducing a further series of standards and programs, so stay tuned.


How does your involvement in TAPA APAC help in your day job?


My involvement in TAPA APAC creates a great two-way synergy with my day job in two main aspects – networking and standards. TAPA’s networking sessions allow me to interact with security professionals from all sectors, helping me to bridge the learning curve. Being in the LSP industry, I have the privilege to represent my peers from this industry to feed back to TAPA the changes and challenges we are seeing on the ground, which then goes into redefining the Association’s Standards as we are seeing today.


Likewise, my involvement in TAPA helps me to keep abreast of industry best practices and to have a better understanding, appreciation and application of the Standards.

Fake logistics workers walk away with $15 million in Chilean airport heist


A van made to look like one used by one of the world’s leading logistics companies helped at least 10 armed robbers steal $15 million in cash from an airport terminal in Chile.


The gang passed themselves off as staff working for the logistics company, entering the airport in a ‘branded’ vehicle before threatening security guards as they arrived in the cargo area of Santiago’s Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport. They escaped with the money, which had been shipped to Chile by Bank of America, a media report said.


Police are investigating the possibility that the gang had received inside information in order to carry out the raid. They also suggested that the necessary security protocols were not in place. A similar attack in 2017 saw thieves steal another $19 million cash shipment.


TES achieves TAPA FSR ‘A’ to support corporate sustainability program


The e-waste recycling company, TES, has reconfirmed its focus on client safety, security and sustainability by completing its re-certification for TAPA’s Facility Security Requirements (FSR).


Gaining TAPA FSR accreditation supports the company’s commitment to upholding best-in-class industry security standards, systems and procedures to protect its clients’ assets from grey market losses, theft and shrinkage.


"Supply-chain sustainability is a key differentiator for any business looking to enhance the reputation of its supply chain or logistics network in terms of environmental, risk, and waste costs. There is a growing need to integrate environmentally sound choices into supply-chain management, which TES has managed to demonstrate during its FSR audit process", said Tony Lugg, TAPA APAC's Chairman.


To date, TES is the one of the few e-waste recycling companies in the world to comply with the stringent requirements of FSR. TAPA certification serves as yet another indication to its clients that TES is dedicated to safeguarding their end-of-life devices and data at the highest possible level, specializing in the commissioning, deployment, and retirement of customers’ IT assets, ensuring every part of the process is seamless and compliant with global security and environmental regulations.
