Security News > 2021 > February > Is Your Suppliers' Security Your Business?

Supply chain cybersecurity is now top of mind for executives and security leaders across industries, and government agencies, industry groups, and regulators are taking action in an effort to mitigate risk.

Because supply chains are often global and span multiple tiers of suppliers, the responsibility of security doesn't rest with a single organization.

That's why, when creating business continuity plans, executives need to look beyond their own company to also consider the security measures their immediate suppliers have in place and how they, in turn, manage and mitigate risk with their extended network of suppliers.

Decision makers need threat intelligence related to supply chain attacks to make informed decisions about risks to the business.

Collaborative approach: Your supply chain is an integral part of your business ecosystem.

Back to the question: "Is your suppliers' security your business?" The answer is a resounding YES. Not only is it your business, but the very future of your business could be at stake.
