Time to think holistically about security

Five steps to supply chain security

1. Create a dedicated program office.

2. Get better visibility throughout the network.

Bring data and analysis together from across the whole network, including external parties.

3. Understand threats and weaknesses holistically.

Put all the pieces together and expose previously hidden threats and supply chain vulnerabilities.

4. Create a toolbox of solutions.

Get access to a range of supply chain security solutions—including intelligent automation where appropriate.

5. Maintain and monitor.

Commit the resources needed to sustain supply chain security in a constantly evolving landscape.
