Abstract Ninety percent of the world’s trade goods travel by surface transportation, using maritime, road and rail assets. The security of the goods in transit, the infrastructure supporting the movement, and the vehicles, are required to ensure that international commerce proceeds successfully. Much has been written about the surface supply chain itself, but little has focused on the security of these components. This report provides a guide for those wanting an increased understand-ing of the security issues that supply chain surface transportation systems confront and a blueprint to guide their future research. 17.

Without her vision and guidance, this work would not have been possible. The authors are forever in her debt. Ash Padwal, P.E., J.D., Chief Risk Officer for Allied Telesis, Inc., hosted the workshop at the company’s San José headquarters, and provided the presentation on cybersecurity issues in surface transportation supply chain management. We are deeply grateful for the gracious hospitality and support that he provided, without which the workshop would not have been possible. The only way to develop a blueprint for further truly useful research is to consult the experts
