Cybersecurity in Supply Chain Management: Mitigating Risks in a Digitally Connected World

Abstract

As supply chains become increasingly digitalized, cybersecurity threats pose significant risks to operations, data integrity, and financial stability. This paper examines cyber threats such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, and supply chain fraud, along with strategies to mitigate these risks. We analyze best practices, including blockchain security, zero-trust architecture, and artificial intelligence-driven threat detection. The study also discusses regulatory frameworks and industry guidelines that help safeguard supply chain ecosystems from cyber vulnerabilities.
