Cyber Security Across The Supply Chain

Supply Chain and Logistics plays a critical role in today's global commerce landscape. As digitalisation becomes more prevalent, so do the vulnerabilities to cyber threats. You’ll discover how cyber risks like phishing and social engineering target employees, gaining unauthorised access to sensitive systems. We’ll explore how ransomware attacks disrupt operations by encrypting data and demanding ransom, while data breaches expose confidential customer and operational information. Additionally, learn about the dangers of supply chain attacks that compromise third-party vendors and IoT vulnerabilities that offer entry points for malicious actors. The consequences of cyber attacks on supply chain and logistics operations can be devastating. Operational disruptions lead to delays, shutdowns, and inefficiencies, resulting in significant financial losses from ransom payments, recovery costs, and lost revenue. Furthermore, cyber incidents can cause severe reputational damage, eroding customer trust and market position, and can lead to regulatory consequences, including fines and legal actions due to non-compliance with data protection laws. In this presentation, we’ll cover recent and relevant cyber attacks, providing you with a deeper understanding of the threats facing businesses like yours. We’ll also highlight key areas to focus on to mitigate the likelihood of an attack, giving your organisation the best chance to remain secure in an increasingly digital world. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your cybersecurity awareness and learn practical strategies to protect your operations.
