Economic Challenges for Security in the Supply Chain

Summary/Abstract: Security in supply chains is a key component in ensuring that processes and process participants can interact seamlessly and without disruption. Disruptions can be caused by both intentional and unintentional actions. Disruptions in the process can lead to significant damage. This damage can be financial, reputational, or legal in nature. To avert such damage, participants in a supply chain are required to prevent disruptions or reduce them to a minimum. This article examines the economic challenges in the supply chain. Based on a systematic literature review, the risks are presented, followed by the security aspects in the supply chain. The subsequent analysis of the challenges involved in mitigating these risks focuses on cybersecurity. Existing and implemented measures to defend against cyberattacks are highlighted, along with an outlook for the future. It becomes clear that cybersecurity has been a challenge in the past and will remain one in the future.
