Supply chains can only be as strong as their weakest link. In a world where enterprises must focus on what they can do best and outsource everything else, it is necessary to know these weak spots and to limit the risks occurring from them.
However, supply chain risk management itself is a complicated process riddled with challenges:
Building reliable continuous assessment strategies and processes for such a complicated topic is a massive undertaking. And yet, now is the right time to add C-SCRM to your core cybersecurity strategy. This session gives you an insight into the necessary components of C-SCRM, followed by a panel discussion with industry experts.
Businesses face various risks when deploying external products and services. Among them is the possibility of cyber intrusion which can pose a major challenge to the company’s infrastructure and require a re-think of cybersecurity strategy. A well thought-out and properly structured management of a supplier base classified as trustworthy is just as much a part of this discipline as the use of standardized certification procedures for such products. In this panel we will discuss the importance of cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) and its effect on resilience of a digital business.
