Today, every business is a digital business. Some are just more digital than others. There are digital rising stars, established digital titans, and traditional businesses undergoing varying levels of digital transformation. They are all supported by a cyber supply chain comprised of ICT (Information, Communications, and Technology) vendors.
Digital business success is limited without effective cybersecurity. A successful cyber-attack can be catastrophic, if not terminal, to a business. A cyber supply chain presents a large attack surface that is increasingly being exploited by foreign nation states and criminals. Every week there are new reports of successful attacks resulting in the theft of digital assets or business impairment.
Preventing a cyber-attack is now the responsibility of every employee. Workers using digital devices are routinely trained in security requirements. IT teams are trained and staffed with cybersecurity specialists. What is frequently overlooked is advanced training to help other functional teams fulfill their role within a larger IT lead, information security management system (ISMS).
Specialized training for the supply chain function is recommended because it works with both internal business stakeholders and external vendors to assure supply chain performance fulfills defined business needs. Reducing the risk of a successful cyber-attack, originating in the cyber supply chain, is an emergent requirement that is now critical for business success.
Supply chain professionals are currently knowledgeable in physical supply chain risk management. Where they need training is in cyber supply chain risk management. This type of training is currently not offered in traditional university supply chain or professional programs. Creating a good working relationship between supply chain, IT, and cybersecurity professionals is essential for digital business success.
