This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, supply chains (SCs) are applying information technology to enable data sharing among suppliers, instant access to information, and complete tracking of products. With more Cybersecurity risks present, such as theft of information, service interruptions, and financial resources risks, the vulnerability of systems is increased. The management of supply chain Cybersecurity, which encompasses information systems, software, and infrastructure, is the emphasis of the supply chain's safety measure. There are several serious danger that attack supply chain systems. Most SC Cybersecurity procedures are used to reduce the threats posed by vulnerabilities to those processes. Researchers have mostly concentrated on supply chain-related cyber physical system (CPS) issues. This study makes attempts to classify and evaluates the Cybersecurity insecurities of supply chains. In addition, this work provides an update of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method called α-discounting multi-criteria decision-making (α-D MCDM), which enables a more uniform assessment of supply chain cyber insecurities. This paper suggests using the α-D MCDM in various ways to address various supply chain evaluation problems.

Book excerpt: Purpose: Despite growing research interest in cyber security, inter-firm based cyber risk studies are rare. Therefore, this study investigates cyber risk management in supply chain contexts.Methodology: Adapting a systematic literature review process, papers from interdisciplinary areas published between 1990 and 2017 were selected. Different typologies, developed for conducting descriptive and thematic analysis were established using data mining techniques to conduct a comprehensive, replicable and transparent review.Findings: The review identifies multiple future research directions for cyber security/resilience in supply chains. A conceptual model is developed, which indicates a strong link between IT, organisational and supply chain security systems. The human/behavioural elements within cyber security risk are found to be critical; however, behavioural risks have attracted less attention due to a perceived bias towards technical (data, application and network) risks. There is a need for raising risk awareness, standardised policies, collaborative strategies and empirical models for creating supply chain cyber-resilience.Research implications: Different type of cyber risks and their points of penetration, propagation levels, consequences and mitigation measures are identified. The conceptual model developed in this study drives an agenda for future research on supply chain cyber security/resilience. Practical implications: A multi-perspective, systematic study provides a holistic guide for practitioners in understanding cyber-physical systems. The cyber risk challenges and the mitigation strategies identified support supply chain managers in making informed decisions. Originality: This is the first systematic literature review on managing cyber risks in supply chains. The review defines supply chain cyber risk and develops a conceptual model for supply chain cyber security systems and an agenda for future studies.

Download or read book Innovative Supply Chain Cyber Risk Analytics written by Benjamin M. Siegel and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing frequency and severity of cyberattacks has made reliable cyber risk assessment a critical concern for organizations worldwide. Traditional cyber risk methodologies focus on the enterprise's level of cyber maturity. Moreover, several commercial companies provide cyber ratings using information about the organization accessible by outside parties, often called outside-in ratings. However, merely focusing on the enterprise's own cyber maturity may be insufficient given the increasing number of cyberattacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the organization's supply chain. This thesis presents innovative approaches to cyber risk assessment that incorporate attributes of the digital supply chain. Chapter 2 is motivated by recent cyberattacks that relied on compromising software companies as a vector to attack their customers, illustrating the importance of going beyond the enterprise's vulnerabilities and assessing potential threats from the supply chain. Taking into account this observation, the chapter presents a data-driven approach to identifying high risk software companies based on their relative position in the supply chain. The newly proposed approach is based on unsupervised clustering techniques applied to intuitive supply chain features of the respective software companies. The clustering approach is applied to a self-constructed dataset of over 4,600 software companies, and the model partitions the software companies into two clusters. Historical breach data that was not used in the clustering suggests that the second cluster, despite being smaller, has a significantly higher proportion of breached companies. Furthermore, feature differences between clusters reveal that the risky software companies tend to have many more customers and suppliers, particularly in the Technology and Business Services sectors. These findings highlight the importance of specific supply chain features as risk drivers in assessing the cybersecurity posture of software companies. In Chapter 3, we propose a novel approach to cyber risk assessment that directly incorporates an attacker model and in so doing are able to better predict enterprises' vulnerabilities. We develop a theoretical attacking agent to randomly target a company and explore neighboring nodes in the supply chain graph. Deep reinforcement learning algorithms are used to train the attacker over time, identifying rewarding paths throughout the supply chain network. The fully trained attacker then simulates attacks, yielding a risk score for each individual company in the network. This score corresponds to the relative number of breaches the company experiences in simulation. This approach is empirically validated using a dataset of over 13,000 companies in the Retail sector, and the results are highly statistically significant when compared to real-world breach incident data and an existing outside-in ratings model. Because the theoretical attacker approach is validated by existing breach data and holds predictive power, this methodology can contribute to the development of more effective risk assessment strategies to combat the growing threat of cyberattacks.
Download or read book At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We depend on information and information technology (IT) to make many of our day-to-day tasks easier and more convenient. Computers play key roles in transportation, health care, banking, and energy. Businesses use IT for payroll and accounting, inventory and sales, and research and development. Modern military forces use weapons that are increasingly coordinated through computer-based networks. Cybersecurity is vital to protecting all of these functions. Cyberspace is vulnerable to a broad spectrum of hackers, criminals, terrorists, and state actors. Working in cyberspace, these malevolent actors can steal money, intellectual property, or classified information; impersonate law-abiding parties for their own purposes; damage important data; or deny the availability of normally accessible services. Cybersecurity issues arise because of three factors taken together - the presence of malevolent actors in cyberspace, societal reliance on IT for many important functions, and the presence of vulnerabilities in IT systems. What steps can policy makers take to protect our government, businesses, and the public from those would take advantage of system vulnerabilities? At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy offers a wealth of information on practical measures, technical and nontechnical challenges, and potential policy responses. According to this report, cybersecurity is a never-ending battle; threats will evolve as adversaries adopt new tools and techniques to compromise security. Cybersecurity is therefore an ongoing process that needs to evolve as new threats are identified. At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy is a call for action to make cybersecurity a public safety priority. For a number of years, the cybersecurity issue has received increasing public attention; however, most policy focus has been on the short-term costs of improving systems. In its explanation of the fundamentals of cybersecurity and the discussion of potential policy responses, this book will be a resource for policy makers, cybersecurity and IT professionals, and anyone who wants to understand threats to cyberspace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GUIDE FOR SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT (SCRM) APPLICATION IN THE REAL WORLDWelcome to the next iteration of SCRM. From the internationally acclaimed cybersecurity thought-leader, Mr. Russo provides two distinct NIST 800-161, "Supply Chain Risk Management Practices for Federal Information Systems and Organizations," approaches to resolve the modern day challenge of SCRM. The solutions, while similar, provide a 21st Century resolution to better approach in a systematic way to prevent compromises to the US and global IT supply chain.The use of varied supply chain attacks by cyber attackers to access, for example, software development infrastructures have been major vectors of concerns for governments as well as the private sector. These attacks typically include targeting publicly connected software "build, test, update servers," and other portions of a software development environment. Nation-state agents can then inject malware into software updates and subsequent releases have far-ranging impacts to the IT supply chain; the challenge continues to grow.SCRM 1.0 is a concept for establishing an effective and repeatable process that can be applied against standard supply chain components such as hardware, firmware, software, etc. The author introduces SCRM 2.0, much like SCRM 1.0 (Product-based approach), the need is to turn to a much more precarious aspect of SCRM. We must consider the service piece of SCRM that includes the people, companies, and organizations along the supply chain that may also be compromised within the global marketing of IT equipment and capabilities. This is the next most significant issue facing the field of cybersecurity protection in the 21st Century.
Download or read book Managing Cybersecurity in the Process Industries written by CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety) and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chemical process industry is a rich target for cyber attackers who are intent on causing harm. Current risk management techniques are based on the premise that events are initiated by a single failure and the succeeding sequence of events is predictable. A cyberattack on the Safety, Controls, Alarms, and Interlocks (SCAI) undermines this basic assumption. Each facility should have a Cybersecurity Policy, Implementation Plan and Threat Response Plan in place. The response plan should address how to bring the process to a safe state when controls and safety systems are compromised. The emergency response plan should be updated to reflect different actions that may be appropriate in a sabotage situation. IT professionals, even those working at chemical facilities are primarily focused on the risk to business systems. This book contains guidelines for companies on how to improve their process safety performance by applying Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS) concepts and techniques to the problem of cybersecurity.
