Cyber Security And Supply Chain Management Risks Challenges And Solutions

What are the cyber vulnerabilities in supply chain management? How can firms manage cyber risk and cyber security challenges in procurement, manufacturing, and logistics?Today it is clear that supply chain is often the core area of a firm's cyber security vulnerability, and its first line of defense. This book brings together several experts from both industry and academia to shine light on this problem, and advocate solutions for firms operating in this new technological landscape.Specific topics addressed in this book include: defining the world of cyber space, understanding the connection between supply chain management and cyber security, the implications of cyber security and supply chain risk management, the 'human factor' in supply chain cyber security, the executive view of cyber security, cyber security considerations in procurement, logistics, and manufacturing among other areas.

The book presents the concepts of ICT supply chain risk management from the perspective of NIST IR 800-161. It covers how to create a verifiable audit-based control structure to ensure comprehensive security for acquired products. It explains how to establish systematic control over the supply chain and how to build auditable trust into the products and services acquired by the organization. It details a capability maturity development process that will install an increasingly competent process and an attendant set of activities and tasks within the technology acquisition process. It defines a complete and correct set of processes, activities, tasks and monitoring and reporting systems.

Recently, supply chains (SCs) are applying information technology to enable data sharing among suppliers, instant access to information, and complete tracking of products. With more Cybersecurity risks present, such as theft of information, service interruptions, and financial resources risks, the vulnerability of systems is increased. The management of supply chain Cybersecurity, which encompasses information systems, software, and infrastructure, is the emphasis of the supply chain's safety measure. There are several serious danger that attack supply chain systems. Most SC Cybersecurity procedures are used to reduce the threats posed by vulnerabilities to those processes. Researchers have mostly concentrated on supply chain-related cyber physical system (CPS) issues. This study makes attempts to classify and evaluates the Cybersecurity insecurities of supply chains. In addition, this work provides an update of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method called α-discounting multi-criteria decision-making (α-D MCDM), which enables a more uniform assessment of supply chain cyber insecurities. This paper suggests using the α-D MCDM in various ways to address various supply chain evaluation problems.

Every industry has faced the tidal wave of 'digital' that has either re-shaped or dramatically altered their modus operandi. Supporting technologies in the management information systems arena have given rise to increased end to end visibility, real time access to information, and tightly controlled monitoring of deployed assets. In many industries it is straightforward to see the impact that digital technologies have had. Finance is a great example, with cash payments becoming increasingly less and less common, and digital currencies increasing in prominence. Yet how has this impacted supply chain management? In a discipline that spans multiple industries, continents, and companies, are there examples that we can point to that explain how digital supply chains have become? Which aspects of supply chain management were transformed by the digital tidal wave, and which functions are lagging behind? This is what this volume seeks to address.Trends: what are the current trends in digital (or digitalization) supply chain management? Ideally, these trends will include all aspects of the supply chain. That is, how has the digital revolution impacted sourcing? What are the digital trends in the logistics, warehousing, and distribution industry? How has 'digital' impacted the operations and manufacturing industry? Challenges: where are the diminishing returns to digital and its inclusion in the supply chain? Are there problems related to procurement and sourcing as the digital revolution takes hold? Are logistics challenges compounded in a digital world? Is manufacturing more streamlined or are there additional complexities that need to be addressed?Solutions: Are the challenges all too overwhelming, or are there remedies that we can advance to cope with an ever increasingly digital world?

Contemporary supply chains operate under the pressure of customer requirements, increasing price competition, sudden increases or decreases in demand, unforeseen obstacles and new threats. The right way to improve the functioning of the flow of material and accompanying information is not only the continuous collection of data but also their collection, analysis, inference and decision-making with the use of decision support systems, expert systems and artificial intelligence. Such procedures make it easier for logisticians not only to forecast processes but also to predict (forecast) and identify potential problems and facilitate the implementation of optimal modern solutions, paying attention to current trends in the supply chain market. An important issue that affects the quality, efficiency and availability (continuity) of the processes implemented within the supply chain is security. This is an area that is not clearly defined. This book uses theoretical and practical knowledge to define security in the supply chain as a state that gives a sense of certainty and guarantees the flow of material goods and services (in accordance with the 7w rule) as well as a smooth flow of information for the planning and management of logistics processes. Tools and instruments used to ensure the security of the supply chain contribute to the protection and survival in times of dangerous situations (threats) and adaptation to new conditions (susceptibility to unplanned situations). When analyzing the needs and structure of the 21st century supply chains, in the context of their security, it is impossible to ignore the problem of their digitization, which enables the determination of optimal routes and the anticipation of possible threats (crisis situations). Automatic data exchange between various departments of the company along the upper and lower part of the supply chain improves the functioning of the warehouse management through, among others, automation, robotization and pro-activity. It also contributes to efficient, good communication and market globalization. Automation also brings new, extremely attractive business models with regard to occupational safety, ergonomics and environmental protection. To meet the needs of creating modern supply chains, the book analyzes and presents current and future solutions that affect security and the continuity of supply chains.

A GUIDE FOR 2021 AND BEYOND SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT (SCRM) APPLICATION IN THE REAL WORLD...In this 2021 re-release of the SCRM 2.0, there has been added clarification of control implementation. NIST SP 800-161 controls are critical to a successful Supply Chain Risk Management process, vital to ensuring that hardware, software, and services are equally vetted to ensure that supply chain elements are free from defect, counterfeit, or fraud. This update is designed to provide greater clarity needed to ensure an active defensive posture by public and private sector organizations. Welcome to the next iteration of SCRM. Based on a detailed explanation of current threats and application of NIST SP 800-161. From the internationally acclaimed cybersecurity leader, Dr. Russo provides two distinct NIST 800-161, "Supply Chain Risk Management Practices for Federal Information Systems and Organizations," approaches to resolve the modern-day challenges of SCRM. The solutions, while similar, provide a 21st Century resolution to a better approach in a systematic way to prevent compromises to the US and global IT supply chains. The use of varied supply chain attacks by cyber attackers to access, for example, software development infrastructures, have been major vectors of concern for governments and the private sector. These attacks typically include targeting publicly connected software "build, test, update servers," and other portions of a software development environment. Nation-state agents can then inject malware into software updates, and subsequent releases have far-ranging impacts on the IT supply chain; the challenge continues to grow.SCRM 1.0 is a concept for establishing an effective and repeatable process that can be applied against standard supply chain components such as hardware, firmware, software, etc. The author introduces SCRM 2.0. Much like SCRM 1.0 (Product-based approach), the need is to turn to a much more precarious aspect of SCRM. We must consider the service piece of SCRM that includes the people, companies, and organizations along the supply chain that may also be compromised within the global marketing of IT equipment and capabilities. This is the next most significant issue facing the field of cybersecurity protection in the 21st Century. This updated version updates content for the reader and adds more clarity on the topic of SCRM in 2020.
