In this podcast, host Thomas O’Connor is joined by guest Mark Atwood to discuss the cybersecurity risks faced by supply chains and what CSCOs can do to protect both their enterprise and their ecosystems from such attacks.

Supply chain leaders and CSCOs need to be at the forefront of protecting their supply chains from the increasing threat of cyberattack. Why? Because they are typically in charge of the assets, systems, networks, partners and products that make up the supply chain and therefore the ultimate responsibility for its protection rests with them. 

Currently, some organizations have successfully protected their supply chains through the use of audits and assessments across the ecosystem. But there is an effort to bring more automation and tools to bear on the issue as CSCOs strive to get more verification and visibility into both their systems and partners. In the future, there will be high demand to secure employees from a small pool of talent who intimately understand both supply chains and cybersecurity.
