Supply Chain Risk Assessment in Cybersecurity and Data Protection

Abstract

The rapid globalization of supply chains has introduced numerous vulnerabilities, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity and data protection. This paper explores the critical intersection of supply chain management and cybersecurity, emphasizing the risks associated with third-party vendors and the potential impacts on organizations. By assessing the current landscape of supply chain risks, we identify the need for robust risk assessment frameworks that integrate cybersecurity measures into traditional supply chain management practices. The findings underscore the importance of proactive strategies and collaboration among stakeholders to mitigate risks and enhance resilience in the supply chain.
