Supply chain security

Is yours as strong as its weakest link?

In a successful logistics operation, security is as important as efficiency. Shrinkage costs billions every year. The ever-increasing amount of regulation further increases overheads. Logistics companies need to protect their own assets as well as their customers’ - magnum containers, roll cages, trailers, even the depots, distribution centres, offices and employees.

We have the expertise, solutions and services to help you improve supply chain safety and security. Auto-ID, for example, uses RFID (radio frequency ID) to provide an effective deterrent against theft and help ensure the recovery of misplaced physical assets. IPCCTV (Internet protocol closed circuit television) uses video analytics to protect against unauthorised movement of stock or people, ensures health and safety compliance by reducing injury in stock rooms and warehouses and alerts controllers about suspicious items left in a loading bay or other monitored area.

Protect your business and empower your people

While it’s imperative to protect your business against ID theft and fraud, it’s also vital to be able to share data and systems with the people you trust. This is increasingly important when business depends on flexible working, online services, and collaborative relationships with customers and suppliers.

With BT identity and access management services you can identify and authorise customers, partners and employees with confidence. Through policy, process and technology, we’ll work with you to provide safer access, meet regulatory requirements, empower your mobile workforce, and expand your business online.

BT has over ten years experience delivering global identity and access management services. For example, we worked with TD Waterhouse to transform authentication for new customer accounts – reducing validation time from hours to minutes.

Protect your business, your data and your reputation

In a networked operating environment, more information is available to more users, including an increasing number of people outside your organisation. The challenge is keeping your data secure, ensuring the right people have access to the information they need, and being able to anticipate and respond to security threats – from viruses and ad-hoc attacks, to organised criminal activity.

BT provides an extensive range of technologies, professional services and managed services to optimise security for your networked business. We’ll work with you to assess security threats, build layered defences into your networked IT and communication systems, and provide realtime security management and monitoring. As a result, you’ll be better able to anticipate and respond to threats, provide secure access to information and services, and protect your operations, your data, and your reputation.

Large organisations across the world trust BT as their security partner, including Unilever and CLSA. We have security accreditations from trusted organisations including FIRST, CERT, FIPS, and NSA and are compliant with key industry standards including ISO 27001 and ISO 17799.
