July 19th’s CrowdStrike incident serves as a stark reminder of the fragility inherent in an interconnected digital world and the critical importance of supply chain security. What began as a routine update cascaded into a global IT crisis, affecting countless organizations across various sectors. From healthcare institutions postponing critical procedures to transportation systems grinding to a halt, the ripple effects were immeasurable. With the complex interdependent relationships, we can no longer evaluate security at a micro-level – threats and impacts are no longer contained within individual systems, so our approach and aperture to risks and cybersecurity management need to expand in scale.
As we navigate an ever-more connected world and become an increasingly digitally dependent society, the need for robust, proactive cyber supply chain risk management has never been more apparent.
