Beyond the Break-In: The True Cost of Theft in Distribution

Thursday October 8, 2026 @ 1:00 PM ET | Virtual

Theft is rarely just about what’s taken. For distributors, a single facility security incident can trigger operational delays, unexpected costs, employee concerns, customer impacts and business disruption that extends far beyond the initial loss.

In this informative webinar, NAW and Amarok will explore the often-overlooked financial, operational and human costs associated with theft and security incidents. We’ll also discuss why leading organizations are moving beyond reactive security measures and adopting a layered approach to better identify vulnerabilities, reduce risk and strengthen business resilience.

Attendees will leave with practical insights they can use to evaluate their own facilities and build a more proactive approach to protecting their operations.

What You’ll Learn:

• Understand the operational delays, employee safety concerns, and customer trust issues that follow a security incident.
• Gain practical insights on how to evaluate existing distribution centers, outdoor inventory, and vehicle fleets.
• Learn how to implement layered perimeter security strategies to mitigate risk and ensure business resilience.
