What is the purpose of the NCSC's new guidance?
The NCSC has published new guidance to help organizations assess their defenses and resilience in supply chains, responding to the increasing trend of supply chain attacks. The guidance encourages organizations to collaborate with their suppliers to identify vulnerabilities and enhance overall security.
How should organizations assess supply chain security?
Organizations should start by understanding their own cyber risk management approach, then develop a tailored strategy for assessing supply chain security. This includes prioritizing key factors, applying the new approach to new supplier relationships, integrating it into existing contracts, and continuously improving practices based on regular performance measurements.
Why is supply chain security important?
Supply chain attacks pose a significant cyber threat that can lead to serious, long-lasting impacts on both businesses and their customers. As incidents are on the rise, it is crucial for organizations to work closely with their suppliers to identify risks and implement appropriate security measures to mitigate these threats.
