Ep103: Cyber Fault Lines - Is Your Supply Chain Compromising You (2024.01.26)

🔗 "Is your supply chain the fault line in your defenses that’s compromising you?" Episode 103 of CyberBoardCast™ turns the spotlight on the oft-overlooked cyber risks in third-party partnerships.

 

It’s obvious that the cybersecurity of a company's supply chain is a vital part of its overall cyber health. But following the revelations in Lockheed Martin's 10-K, the depth of cyber competence within these third-party entities, especially at the leadership level, remains a question.

 

Here's your action plan as a proactive member of the cyber ecosystem:

 

1.     Demand Cyber Competence: Insist that companies enforce stringent cyber standards among all supplier boards and executives, extending beyond mere IT security.

2.    Champion Forward-Thinking Compliance: Push for a proactive, innovation curve-compliant approach in your third-party risk assessments, transcending basic regulatory adherence.

3.    Advocate for Vigilant Monitoring: Encourage ongoing, thorough cyber risk assessment and training, ensuring that all levels of supplier personnel, especially boards and C-Suites, are not just informed, but actively cyber-educated at the level of risk they each face, not just the front-line employee level.

 

Don't let regulatory minimums define your cybersecurity posture. Your vigilance could be the difference between a more secure supply chain and a high-profile breach.

 

Stay tuned as we continue to unveil actionable insights for robust cyber governance. Join us in fortifying the weakest links in the supply chain for a stronger, more resilient cyber future.
