Supply Chain Cybersecurity: Mitigating Risks and Vulnerabilities

Abstract

In today’s interconnected global economy, supply chains are vital lifelines for businesses across industries. However, they are increasingly susceptible to cyberattacks, which can disrupt operations, compromise data, and cause significant financial and reputational harm. This research paper examines the critical importance of supply chain cybersecurity, identifying key risks and vulnerabilities while outlining strategies to mitigate these threats. We explore the complexity of modern supply chains, the role of third-party vendors, and the evolving nature of cyber threats. Furthermore, the paper provides insights into the latest technologies and best practices in supply chain risk management, focusing on both prevention and response. By understanding these risks and implementing effective cybersecurity measures, organizations can enhance their resilience and protect their operations from the growing menace of cyber threats.
