Container security gettingmore than standard attention
By Staff -- Manufacturing Business Technology, 9/1/2006 12:00:00 AM

Part of the problem is lack of standards for solutions. In June, several solution vendors formed the Brussels-based International Container Standards Organization. "The focus is to improve container security by accelerating the adoption of global container security standards," says Connie Higgins, General Electric (GE) spokesperson. GE, Siemens, Mitsubishi, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Unisys are among the founding members.
