Threats to the supply chain can take many forms, including malware attacks, piracy, unauthorized access to enterprise resources and data, and unintentional or maliciously injected backdoors in software source code.

This means putting security at the center of the supply chain and making it a foundational element.

Meeting the demands of today's manufacturing and allocation models across industries requires advanced network reliability and the visibility into every facet of the supply chain, from manufacturing to delivery, regardless of physical location.

Large businesses with extensive supply chain operations stretching the globe should have the tools and infrastructure required to implement this security framework into their network environment-and should move in a zero-trust direction.

Another key component of developing a supply chain security strategy is collaborating with external organizations.

Given the needs, regulatory requirements, budgets, and priorities that single organizations require, working closely with vendors in a global supply chain to determine the level of protection they are offering your organization, and customers, in addition to their own, is paramount.
