How Much is Enough? Budgeting for your Mail Screening Operation
Regardless of your daily volume of received letters and packages, all Federal Mail centers are required to establish a Mail Screening Security Program and keep an updated Mail Security Plan on hand. Any private organization with a risk of receiving hazardous items should also strongly consider Mail Screening. The primary objective of an effective Mail Screening program is to ensure facility and operator safety and protect organizational assets. But how do you best achieve this key objective with limited resources? This session focuses on how to align your Mail Screening budget most effectively with your organization’s risk profile.

From fentanyl-laced letters and lithium batteries to USB-based cyberattacks and tracking devices, today’s mail centers must address risks that extend far beyond traditional powder threats. This session will examine the most prevalent—and frequently overlooked – threats facing mail operations in both government agencies and private sector organizations. This session will present current data and case studies illustrating how threat actors manipulate the mail channel and how proactive organizations are integrating mail security into comprehensive risk mitigation and crisis management strategies.
