What’s Inside

When it comes to supply chain risk management, a few common phrases emerge among supply chain managers: 

“IT handles cyber risks.”

“Things seem safe. My computer’s working just fine.”

“I’m sure someone else has a plan for our cybersecurity…”

If you’ve ever said (or thought) one of those phrases, this white paper is definitely for you. 

Cyber risks within global supply chains are growing and becoming more technologically advanced. Yet many supply chain leaders either ignore, are unaware of how to respond, or react to threats in outdated ways.  Successful companies know that cybersecurity strategies need to extend past their organizations to their end-to-end supply chain. In fact, over 60% of cyber risk issues occur with third parties working in supply chains. To thrive, supply chain leaders must have a clear supply chain risk management strategy and build a cybersecurity-centric culture to support their approach. Including insights from interviews with experts from more than 30 companies about cyber risks and supply chains, this white paper lays out how you can build a cyber-secure strategy.
