Cyber Security for Procurement and Supply Chain

In the first quarter of 2023 alone, over 60 thousand customers were impacted by supply chain Cyber attacks (Statista). As organisations tighten their own defences, attackers are looking towards supply chain vulnerabilities. The consequences - financial, legal, operational and reputational - can be devastating and long-lasting. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of Cyber Security threats within procurement and supply chain operations. Participants will learn to assess and mitigate reputational, operational, and financial risks associated with Cyber Security breaches. Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, attendees will gain insights into regulatory compliance, best practices in procurement, and strategies for fostering trust in third-party relationships, including cloud providers. Additionally, the course covers risk treatments, Cyber insurance options, and avenues for further support, ensuring participants are well-equipped to navigate and secure their supply chain ecosystems.
