We’ve reached the point in supply chain management where software and other technologies are essential for remaining not just competitive, but afloat. Yet all that technology leaves your supply chain vulnerable to hacking and other attacks. They are becoming more frequent, and also, more damaging. One part of the problem is the increased use of app-to-app connectivity through accelerated cloud adoption.
To make your company less vulnerable, it’s important that your security teams address several potential weak spots. One is having visibility not only into systems that connect to sensitive assets, but also into threat detection. This means checking every integration of every app for risk levels. Teams should also assess threat prevention on a case-by-case basis, rather than applying a blanket approach across the board. Security personnel should also set and enforce policies surrounding apps and their access. As the supply chain becomes ever more digital, your approaches to security should become ever more vigilant.
