No More Excuses: Building Supply Chain Resilience in the Post Pandemic Environment
Consider the historic disruptions of the past year and a half (COVID-19, the Solar Winds, natural disasters in across Europe and the USA). Highly disruptive, unpredictable events have become such a regular occurrence that we can no longer be forgiven for not anticipating their impact. An estimated two-thirds of highly publicized cyber breaches reportedly now occur through the supply chain, and the magnitude of the impact is immeasurable with no predicted endpoint.
