Technology has been a big part of the supply chain networks over the years. As the network becomes bigger, more and more people are getting involved in the process. As technology progress, companies in the supply chain are becoming more vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. These threats can come from anywhere such as manufacturers, suppliers, and other service providers. The same technology that feeds the supply chain can also bring the whole system down. Some of the top threats when it comes to cyber vulnerabilities in supply chain management are supply chain breaches, data attacks, and malware attacks.

To prevent these attacks, supply chain companies must make sure they have a plan in place and fully understand how each threat operates. They have to put strategies in place that can challenge their current security measures. Doing this, will improve their system and help them to stay on top of any threat the company may face. Training everyone in the company can also help because now every employee knows what to look for when it comes to cyber security. Simple training, such as double-checking emails before clicking on them makes a big difference. Everyone makes sure that if a threat does happen, employees know who to immediately notify and what to do in the situation. Being that employees are the first line of defense for any company, keeping them up to date with training is imperative. Keeping access to most systems on a need-to-know basis limits the employee's and vendor's ability to access information. Also, continuous on-the-job training and staying proactive with a multi-pronged risk-based approach will help the company to stay proactive instead of reactive. If everyone within the company takes cyber security seriously, companies in the supply chain will be able to minimize cyber threats.
