Suppliers: Trust, but verify

By Todd Gifford

Elevator Pitch

According to the Allianz Risk Barometer, supply chain disruption is the #2 worldwide business risk. Problem is, suppliers are exposed to the #1 business risk: Cyber attacks.

Description

Cyber Attacks are currently the #1 Business Risk according to the Allianz Risk Barometer. With Supply chain disruption the #2 risk, and suppliers being exposed to the #1 risk, that makes your supply chain by far and away the biggest risk to your business. This talk is a series of real-world findings from real cyber and Information Security incidents and findings through the medium of supply chain audits. (names and dates redacted, of course).

From medical suppliers, financial services, manufacturing and a few barely believable things we have found in the Devon area, this talk serves as a stark reminder that you need to understand how your supply chain can hurt you, and how risky it is.
