Cooperation is imperative among participants along the global supply chain as security risks continue evolving. Start discussing how realistically to secure the U.S. global supply chain and you are quickly confronted with the magnitude of the components involved and the extraordinary number of participants along the route. On the one hand, global supply chain experts stress the need for worldwide security standards regarding technology, equipment and best practices; on the other hand, developing such standards (to say nothing about actually implementing them) requires an unprecedented amount of cooperation among the world's different governments and corporations. The experts we interviewed, highly astute participants with real-world expertise, well appreciate this dilemma. Their key message: in the near-term don't obsess about perfection and zero-tolerance; do what you can and keep improving. "Focus on what your real vulnerabilities are and have in place a safety-and-preparedness plan for all hazards," suggests James G. Liddy, CEO of Liddy International (Alexandria, Virgina), an all-hazard mitigation firm. "When you enhance your safety procedures and integrate them into your security you create efficiencies," he adds. "With this approach, you don't have to invest a lot of money. This approach to security is what I refer to as safety on steroids."

Liddy建议。他补充说：“当您增强安全程序并将其集成到安全性中时，便可以提高效率。” “使用这种方法，您不必投入大量资金。这种安全性方法就是我所说的类固醇安全性。”
