Supply Chain Management, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, Zero-Trust, Cyber ThreatsAbstract
Globalization has put SCM at high risk of cybersecurity, which undermines the operations and security of information. The present paper explores various facets of cybersecurity risks associated with SCM such as the issues related to the supplier’s network, lack of strong encryption policies, and the surge of hi-tech cyber threats. We review academic literature, present methodologies of risk identification, risk management measures and also focus on examples of SC attacks that demonstrate supply chain risks impacts in actual scenarios. A suggested causal analysis plan covers cybersecurity threats and utilizes the application of technological tools like the blockchain, machine learning, and zero-trust architecture. Last of all, we touch on the need to promote the culture of cybersecurity on all actors involved
