An unvetted third-party warehouse with unsupervised access to cargo

Answer

An unvetted third-party warehouse with unsupervised access is a vulnerability because unknown individuals could tamper with, steal, or introduce contraband into cargo.

Question 5

What is 'layered security' in the context of supply chain protection?
