CTPAT Spotlights AIT Worldwide Logistics New Membership Security Criteria

The U.S. Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) recently validated that transportation management leader AIT Worldwide Logistics meets the organization's newest membership criteria related to vision and leadership and cybersecurity competency. "Making sure our capabilities are on par with, or surpass, CTPAT requirements underscores how committed AIT is to protecting not just our customers' cargo, but also their sensitive data, and the integrity of their whole supply chain," said AIT Chief Information Officer, Ray Fennelly. "This annual validation also communicates to our customers that AIT only partners with reputable organizations that meet or exceed industry safety and security standards." Fennelly noted that a commitment to safety and security at a leadership level—part and parcel with the company's core values—is nothing new to AIT. He also pointed to the company's 2019 addition of Vice President, Global Infrastructure, Mike Tegtmeyer, as a key element to ensuring AIT's systems were operating at CTPAT-approved security levels long before the association's most recent validation period began in March 2020.
