Supply Chain Risks: Cyber attacks on the rise

Cyber attacks - including state-sponsored ones - have become a major source of supply chain risks. Accordingly, the software supply chain represents a major emerging threat.

The report exemplifies not only the major exposure for supply chains resulting from cyber attacks. It again demonstrates that managing supply chain risks is one of the main challenges in building resilient companies.

We will discuss Supply Chain Risks at a Roundtable with industry experts on 11 September 2018 in Frankfurt. Please contact us if you are interested in joining us.
