Cyber threat and information shortage: The immediate risk of supply chain technology and how to tackle them

Abstract

In the interconnected network of contemporary supply chains, the integration of technology has brought forth both prospects and susceptibilities. This research investigates the convergence of cyber threats and information scarcity within supply chain technology, accentuating the immediate hazards they entail. Commencing with an outline of supply chain technology and the pivotal role of cybersecurity, the examination delves into the repercussions of information scarcity on supply chain security, encompassing its facilitation of cyber threats. To counteract these risks, an array of approaches is delineated, spanning from augmenting cybersecurity measures to promoting information exchange and harnessing emergent technologies. The efficacy of these approaches is illustrated through case studies exemplifying successful methods for combatting cyber threats and information scarcity. Ultimately, the research culminates with a synthesis of key insights, a discourse on confronting evolving threats, and contemplation on ensuring robustness in supply chain security.
