Supplier Collective Defense: A New Approach to Cybersecurity
Jason Keirstead of Cyware introduces us to supplier collective defense and why enterprises should embrace it in their own strategies. We have all become far too aware of the challenges and risks that cyber threats pose to our organizations and their supply chains. We also know that our organizations are only as secure as our suppliers. While, to date, there has been a lot of focus on supply chain vulnerabilities, the actual problem area is more complex than that. As such, we must expand our problem scope to the entire security posture of our suppliers, who will almost certainly have different levels of cybersecurity maturity and capabilities. The answer is supplier collective defense. Supplier collective defense is an approach that moves beyond looking at vulnerability risk. It aims to enhance the cybersecurity posture of both large enterprises and their suppliers by sharing information and best practices across the supply chain. Let’s take a closer look at what supplier collective defense is, why it’s essential, and how it can be implemented using existing standards and technologies.
