Supply chain attacks and the erosion of trust

The rise of supply chain attacks has led to an erosion of trust in the security of interconnected systems and third-party vendors. To address this issue, it’s crucial to re-evaluate our trust and prioritise security by implementing best practices. 

Measuring success in a security program requires clear metrics such as incident detection and response time, and overall impact on the organisation’s bottom line. By continuously assessing and optimising security technologies and processes, organisations can reduce the risk of supply chain attacks and build a more secure environment.

• What are the common vulnerabilities in supply chains that cybercriminals exploit to launch attacks, and how can organisations mitigate these risks?
• What steps can businesses take to establish trust with their customers and assure them that their sensitive data is safe, especially in light of the recent surge in cyberattacks?
• How can organisations develop an effective security program that not only detects and responds to threats but also integrates with business operations and adds value to the organisation?
