WEF Launches 'Securing the Chain' Series to Boost Supply Chain Cyber Resilience

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has launched a comprehensive ten-part series, 'Securing the Chain: Cyber Resilience in the Supply Chain', to tackle the evolving challenges in today's digital supply chains. With ERP systems, IoT sensors, AI platforms, and cloud applications now integral to operations, the series aims to help leaders build robust, cyber-resilient supply chains.

Digitization has brought unprecedented efficiencies, but it has also exposed supply chains to new cyber vulnerabilities. A single supplier's ransomware attack can halt entire industries, while compromised logistics systems can disrupt global trade routes. The WEF series delves into these issues, covering topics such as the rising cyber threat, the shift from cybersecurity to cyber resilience, governance, zero-trust principles, the human factor, incident response, and the role of AI and blockchain.

The series, set for full release by late 2025, also emphasizes the importance of partnering for security in our interconnected world. It provides a phased strategy for leaders to implement changes, helping them build supply chains that anticipate, withstand, and adapt to cyber threats. A webinar on October 7 will discuss key takeaways and answer questions live, with registration now open. For in-depth insights and practical frameworks, the full whitepaper is available for download.

The World Economic Forum's 'Securing the Chain: Cyber Resilience in the Supply Chain' series is a vital resource for leaders navigating today's digital supply chain landscape. By addressing the rising cyber threats and providing practical strategies, the series empowers leaders to build resilient supply chains that can withstand and adapt to cyber challenges.
