Cybersecurity in Supply Chain

Abstract

A supply chain is all the processes that enable the flow of goods and services between multiple entities to end customers. Key entities of a supply chain include partners, vendors, suppliers, and service providers that have direct or indirect influence on the production and delivery of your end product or service. If just one part gets compromised, the entire system is at risk. Every company is exposed to internal and external risks stemming from supply chain disruptions. Cyber criminals and other threat actors have been targeting supply chains more actively in recent years. The consequences of such an attack can be severe, operationally, financially, and reputationally. This paper introduces readers to supply chain cybersecurity.
