I’m Afraz Neikar, a Supply Chain and AI Security Leader passionate about building secure, trustworthy AI-driven supply chains.
This blog explores how AI is reshaping the physical supply chain — from product lifecycle and planning to manufacturing, logistics, and fulfillment — and how we can embed security and governance across every stage.
Here, you’ll find insights on:
- Practical AI guardrails for planning, logistics, and production systems
- Zero Trust, RBAC, and data classification for AI workflows
- Secure integration of identity, policy, and observability frameworks
- Lessons from real-world enterprise supply chain transformation
The goal: to help organizations adopt AI responsibly while maintaining resilience, integrity, and trust across their end-to-end supply chain.
This blog explores the evolving landscape of AI Security in Supply Chain, focusing on practical guardrails, emerging risks, and key focus areas to help organizations build secure, trustworthy AI-driven supply chains.
