Port security has never been more complex to maintain and the consequences for exposure have never been more consequential. On Sept 9 (17:00 CEST / 08:00 PDT), join IAPH managing director Patrick Verhoeven for the latest instalment in the #IAPH2026 webinar series: New Frontiers of Port Security. Port authorities must defend themselves on multiple fronts, with threats appearing in the sky, beneath the water and across cyberspace. Policing these frontiers – opened by sophisticated drones, relentless hackers, and inventive smugglers – requires a new kind of strategic thinking, and an increased reliance on cross-industry support networks. Patrick will be joined by experts at the frontline of port security including Ine Van Wymersch, national drug commissioner at the Federal Government of Belgium. The panel will discuss practical guidance on how to keep the supply chain safe and secure in an evolving threat landscape. After all, there are plenty of hiding places for bad actors – but none for port authorities facing intense public and media scrutiny. Register today.
