Disruptions to the supply chain your company depends on can lead to costly problems for your business. Cyber security threats are among the biggest risks to the supply chain as more and more businesses and consumers use online services. From keeping your fulfillment warehouse up and running to protecting your supply chain, consider the following to enhance cyber security.
Cyber Security Education Is Key
Making sure every member of your IT team and other staff are aware of cyber security measures helps keep your supply chain data safe. This involves educating them on the potential risks to data security, such as malware, and ways to protect data. All members of your staff should collaborate in order to ensure that your supply chain has maximum protection from cyber security risks.
Encourage Shared Responsibility
Taking measures to boost cyber security protection for the supply chain should involve your supply chain partners and customers, along with your staff. Promote shared responsibility among these different parties to keep the supply chain safe. Otherwise, vulnerabilities could end up affecting the supply chain, putting data at risk. For example, ensure that staff, partners, and customers have secure ways to connect devices to your system.
Adopt Zero Trust Principles
These principles are an important part of finding weaknesses in the supply chain, such as devices used in the manufacturing industry or delivery services. Zero Trust means that cyber security isn’t taken for granted based on the location of physical devices or networks or based on who owns and operates them. This encourages businesses to take extra steps to protect the supply chain from potential cyber security threats.
