Your Challenges
Supply chain risk is pervasive and far-reaching. To address vulnerabilities and reduce risk, organizations need to extend beyond silos and stovepipes. Effectively managing the myriad interactions and linkages that comes into play within a complex, extended supply chain is a challenge that requires Financial Accountability; End-to-End Visibility; and Systemic Security.
Systematic Security
Federal agencies must be able to ensure supply chains – whether the activities they directly control or the activities of their suppliers and customers – are not vulnerable to threats in-transit. Agencies must have transparency to certify that materials are secure and have not been compromised. They must, in particular, focus on points of interaction and interconnectivity across the extended supply chain. One increasingly critical concern is cybersecurity – the informational layer associated with internetworked transactions and communications. It must be actively managed to fully secure supply chains. By systemically managing the risks throughout the supply chain, agencies can pinpoint key vulnerabilities and collaborate with supply chain partners to address them. Such efforts can dramatically reduce the possibility of a security breach – and ensures that agencies are taking all reasonable steps to secure their supply chains (or those they regulate).
