Als de keten zelf de zwakste schakel is: cybersecurity in de supply chain [ when the chain itself is the weakest link: cybersecurity in the supply chain]
other
This TNO paper provides insight into the growing importance of cybersecurity in the supply chain and offers a handling perspective for companies that want to make themselves more resilient. Improving cyber resilience not only helps an organization to mitigate its security risk but also reduces the potential impact for others within the supply chain. In today’s networked digital infrastructures, it is no longer enough to ensure the security of one’s own IT networks and systems. Incidents elsewhere in the chain can have an immense impact as they trickle down. Suppliers, vendors, contractors, and other third parties have become part of the security risk area. Meanwhile, hostile hackers no longer require to actually gain access to their main target to get to their end goal. Supply chains have essentially become supply networks. And while the challenges for protecting an organization continue to rise, the connectivity offers a learning opportunity and potential cost savings as well. For companies that have already been attacked, it is worth sharing their experiences and best practices. Those who haven’t would be wise to learn from others, because it’s improving their security posture as well as the supply network that they’re part of.
