Gartner Says Supply Chain Cybersecurity is at Peak of Inflated Expectations

—

Gartner highlights several major challenges that prevent supply chain cybersecurity from being a silver-bullet solution:

Lack of clarity over ownership and budget for supply chain cyber-risk: Who should be accountable—IT security, supply chain management, procurement, compliance? Gartner
The breadth of exposure: Many IT systems + cyber-physical (operational technology, manufacturing, logistics) systems must be protected. Gartner
Visibility issues: The large number of multi-tier partners makes it hard to know what all your suppliers are doing, or what access they have. Gartner
Emerging threats from generative AI (GenAI): Use of GenAI among trading partners amplifies risks of data breaches, IP theft, leakage of sensitive information. Gartner
No one-size-fits-all solution: Organisations often find that they must integrate multiple tools rather than rely on a single “supply chain cybersecurity” product. Gartne
