Security Solutions Pioneer Takes On High-Rising Cargo Theft. This time it’s the cargo thieves that need to beware!

Bothell, WA --- Successful entrepreneur, and security and fraud solutions expert, Denis duNann, does it again!

Co-founder of such companies as Verifone, the billion dollar hardware and software company responsible for the ubiquitous transaction terminals that authorize and process credit, debit and check cards, SCAN (Shared Check Authorization Network) used by retailers and banks worldwide to prevent check fraud, and ESP (Employment Screening Partners) creators of TheftNet, a nationwide database used by retailers for pre-employment screening and theft investigations, duNann is now targeting the growing supply chain cargo theft problem.

DuNann’s latest venture into crime control is SC-integrity, Inc. (Supply Chain Integrity, Inc.), a Bothell, Washington-based firm committed to providing its network Members with the industry’s most comprehensive covert cargo theft detection, recovery and loss prevention service. Founded in 2004, duNann has assembled a team of high-profile security experts to lead SC-integrity’s charge. With such heavy-weights as King Rogers, who retired as Vice President of Assets Protection for Target Corporation, served as Chairman of the International Mass Retailers Association (IMRA) Loss Prevention Committee, receiving its prestigious President Award, as well as having been awarded the International Cargo Security Council’s highest honor, the National Leadership Award; and Jack Smith, former Assistant Deputy Director of the Secret Service, there’s no question that duNann is committed to making SC-integrity a dominant weapon in fighting supply chain theft.

Over the past 9 years, cargo theft in the U.S has increased from $1 billion in 1977 to an estimated $30 billion in 2006, with the global impact estimated at $100 billion and rising. On any given day, transportation assets in the US move approximately eight million truckloads of freight across four million miles of highway; 1.5 million railcars traverse over 170,000 miles of track; 2,400 flights pass through about 400 airports; and roughly 325 seaports transfer more than 25,000 containers. “Whether by sea, land or air, thieves are costing Americans billions of dollars a year, much of it going to support organized crime and terrorist activities,” says duNann.

The continued increase in crime and the growing monetary loss has proven that traditional GPS tracking methods are ineffective. Likewise, the lack of shared intelligence that exists today between Law Enforcement agencies and the corporations suffering the losses greatly hinders recovery efforts, while giving thieves the upper hand. “It’s as much a shared intelligence problem as it is a technology issue,” explains duNann. “Very simply, Law Enforcement and supply chain companies need the tools to get the job done. As we become more technologically sophisticated, so do the bad guys. Thieves often conduct their own counter-intelligence on the Law Enforcement Agencies or Task Forces who have them under surveillance,” he continued. “That’s why we designed SC-integrity’s in-transit security service to provide the supply chain industry with a unique and complete covert solution that will not only track the truck, trailer and cargo, but report real-time information to Law Enforcement agencies for full recovery. We also provide the necessary data to secure warrants and affect an arrest. If we’re going to be effective in this battle against cargo crime, it’s vital to not only recover the stolen assets, but to successfully prosecute the offenders.”

In mid 2006, SC-integrity joined forces with LoJack Corp.(NASDAQ: LOJN), a publicly traded Westwood, Massachusetts-based company whose wireless technology has been used to recover over 180,000 stolen vehicles. As a minority shareholder, LoJack combined its globally respected brand with SC-integrity’s in-transit cargo service, re-branding it as LoJack inTransit^™

To date, SC-integrity’s LoJack inTransit has tracked well over 1.4 million hours of cargo in-transit, over nearly 10 million miles, while assisting in recovering millions of dollars worth of stolen assets and facilitating numerous arrests.

Yet again, duNann’s distinctive approach to solving security problems has resulted in another best-of-breed solution. At the core of SC-integrity’s remarkable success is its unique combination of proprietary technology in tandem with manned intervention. For instance, the LoJack inTransit state-of-the-art Communication Command Center (C3), is manned 24/7/365 by professionally trained Interdiction Specialists. “The C3 is a powerful part of our success,” explains duNann. “Without going into too much detail that would give the bad guys a heads-up about our tactics, the C3 specialist can confirm a ‘probable theft in progress’, track the cargo with our specialized geo-mapping tool and contact the appropriate Law Enforcement Agencies within a matter of minutes of a confirmed incident...all while staying in constant contact with the Member. This is extremely powerful, and it’s why we deliver over 90% recovery rates.” Like all of duNann’s past successes, timeliness, data accuracy and ease-of-use are key components of SC-integrity’s unmatched service solutions.
