SASIG Cyber Leaders Summit
As supply chains become increasingly digital and interconnected, they also become more vulnerable to cyber threats. This panel will explore the growing cybersecurity risks facing supply chains, from third-party breaches to vulnerabilities in critical supplier networks. We will discuss how businesses can assess and manage these risks, focusing on strategies for strengthening relationships with suppliers, implementing robust cybersecurity frameworks, and ensuring continuity of operations. The session will also cover the importance of resilience in supply chain management and provide actionable insights for mitigating risks and protecting data across the supply chain.
