Navigating Cyberthreats: Strategies to Enhance Supply Chain Resilience


This IDC Perspective delves into the state of supply chain cybersecurity within the Asia/Pacific region, a crucial hub for global manufacturing and logistics. It explores the region's rapid digital transformation driven by advanced technologies, such as AI, Internet of Things, and cloud computing, which have enhanced efficiency and productivity but also heightened organizations’ vulnerability to cyberattacks. Recent high-profile incidents, such as attacks on Toyota, Johnson Controls, and DP World, underscore the need for robust cybersecurity measures. To address the increase in cyberthreats, this document recommends a comprehensive approach to adhere to cybersecurity frameworks and implement advanced security measures, such as zero-trust architecture. A case study on Fortinet's zero-trust approach demonstrates its effectiveness in securing the IT/operational technology (OT) integration of a leading automotive manufacturer in Asia. "In the interconnected world today, proactive cybersecurity is not optional but a need for business continuity. IDC’s survey data highlights a significant confidence gap, with very few Asia/Pacific logistics and transportation organizations expressing confidence in their ability to manage AI-powered cyberthreats. This low level of confidence reflects shortcomings in cybersecurity policies and inadequate investment in protective measures." says Rani Ratna, senior research manager, IDC Manufacturing Insights.
