According to Verizon's 2015 Data Breach Investigations Report, there were 2,122 confirmed data breaches in the previous year at organizations in 61 countries. These are only the ones known about, incidents that were reported. The truth is hundreds and perhaps thousands more, mostly at small and medium-size businesses, go unreported.
Verizon’s research indicates not only that the threat of cyberattacks is rising but also how insidious and adaptive they can be. According to Verizon's 2013 Data Breach Investigations report, although 91 percent of data breaches were carried out in a matter of minutes or hours, it took months or years to detect 62 percent of those compromises, and it took several months, sometimes up to a year to contain more than half of the breaches after they were discovered.
One of the largest known data breaches to ever occur, resulted in 110 million records being lost and hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, being sought against a small, third-party supplier along the chain. The attackers easily compromised Fazio Mechanical Services, a supplier of HVAC services, to gain easy access to Target’s network. In a report by Dark Reading, taking a piggyback ride on third-party suppliers is now a well-tested method to use in an attackers’ playbook.
Nowadays, the security of a supply chain of a supply chain is no different. It is either taken for granted,taken too lightly, understated or all three. World leading Supply Chain company’s know what supply chain security means to their company, and fully understand the cost of not having it or only having part of it.
The golden question that company’s need to be asking themselves is:‘are we confident that our supply chain is secure or at the very least safe within the environment we work in?’ Most companies either refuse to ask this question or refuse to answer or admit their supply chain could be vulnerable. No Supply Chain is vulnerable to disruption or unexpected events so why should it be safe from supply chain security infiltration.
“If you want to attack the world’s largest gold vault at Fort Knox and you know they have almost impregnable locks and well-trained guards to enforce strong security, it is going to be much easier to attack one of their providers. They are one of several keys that already has access to the gold.”
In this high-risk world we live and work in, company’s must take a proactive approach when it comes to supply chain security; to do otherwise, invites a host of serious and potentially devastating consequences not just to the doorstep, but to the very inside of your operation. There are more and more companies becoming proactive today, especially those that have been victimized or subjected to a breach in their once safe Supply Chain wall. When a company encounters a major theft, fraud, product tampering incident,or any other type of connected security problem, the human and financial resources required to deal with it are quite significant, and quite dramatic. It is seldom a good experience and in truth, most executives want to do everything within their power to avoid having to go through the same thing or worse. Being proactive is the best way to do that.
So if you are still not convinced and asking yourself ‘Why do I need to attend this program?’ Here’s some compelling more reasons why?
Supply Chain Security today has become such a major challenge because there are more enticing opportunities in a complex run supply chain that attract theft, smuggling, and product tampering. The main objective for companies is to develop, introduce, and then diligently maintain asset protection continuity within each link of their supply chain. This is neither an easy or simple thing to do, particularly when you are working with a global logistics network. The main problem in this regard is that too many foreign entities don’t accurately represent or understand what their supply chain safeguards really are or should be. Today, the most successful company’s are aware and are genuinely concerned about all aspects of their security. Theft of property or proprietary information, fraud,inventory theft, product tampering, sabotage, and terrorism can and do dramatically affect a company’s profitability and reputation in the marketplace with their customers. The main problem is that executives too often either assume or are under the belief that their company is far better protected than it normally is. The realisation that they weren’t only becomes apparent after they have been victimized. It is only then that company’s realise how vulnerable they actually were.
