Session Description

A great deal has been written about information security threats and the main objective, it seems, is simply to create more fear, uncertainty and doubt (F.U.D.). Many analysts seem more interested in highlighting challenges rather than looking for solutions to this critical business risk. This session will touch briefly on the unique complexity of information security in the supply chain. We will then explore emerging technologies and their promise to improve security across increasingly complex supply chains.

Takeaways

• Information security is a business risk that presents unique challenges for supply chain professionals
• Emerging technologies enable more and more efficient supply chain management, solutions to information security challenges AND introduce new sources of risk
• Do not be distracted by the F.U.D.: practice good information security discipline today and expect to invest in continuous improvement, permanently
