Supply chain security is going digital, according to Tom Garrison, Vice President and General Manager for Client Security Strategy and Initiatives at Intel. In his Leadership Keynote address at the Securing New Ground conference from the Security Industry Association (SIA), Garrison noted that as devices involved in supply chains improve, attackers targeting supply chains evolve new attack methods.
The supply chain has become the new frontline for cyberattacks. "One of the challenges we have is the nature of supply chains," said Garrison. Perceptions of supply chains have traditionally revolved around physical security, but that is no longer the case. Security professionals need to incorporate cybersecurity into their supply chain security strategies in order to be truly comprehensive.
