In today’s global marketplace, supply chains are critical to every organization’s business operations. A typical supply chain can incorporate hundreds of vendors and business partners from dozens of countries. The back and forth of data flow within the supply chain results in the significant sharing of confidential information with suppliers and third parties. With so much company and customer data exposed at so many levels, security risks rise, and the chances of a data breach leading to data loss or compromise increase dramatically.

Unprotected supply chains face a variety of hazards, such as theft of proprietary information, attacks on critical infrastructure, and software manipulation to gain access to government or contractor systems. Traditional cybersecurity measures tend to be focused on protecting supply chains from outside threats and may fail to adequately address other threat vectors. In addition, vulnerabilities in the supply chain can be the result of poor process management that affects response and delivery times to customers. To keep organizations safe and competitive, a multilayered security approach is the best strategy to ensure a secure and well-managed supply chain.
