Abstract:
In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, supply chains are essential to the smooth operation of any business. Yet, with this increased connectivity comes a hidden risk: vulnerabilities that cybercriminals are all too eager to exploit. Supply chain attacks, where attackers target the very systems and networks that companies rely on, have become more common, leading to disruptions, loss of sensitive data, and significant financial strain. These attacks are not only growing in frequency, but they are also becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it clear that prevention alone is no longer enough. Companies need a plan for what comes next – a way to recover quickly and learn from the experience. This paper delves into the growing threat of supply chain attacks and introduces a post-recovery model designed to help businesses manage the aftermath. By focusing on rapid recovery, strengthening security, and fostering long-term resilience, this model enables businesses to recover effectively and emerge more prepared for future challenges. In a world where things can change in an instant, it’s not just about preventing an attack – it’s about knowing how to recover and emerge even stronger when the unexpected happens.
