Introduction

Training course introducion / brief

Globally hyper-connected economy, supply chains are no longer just logistical networks — they are digital ecosystems. With increasing reliance on interconnected systems, vendors, cloud services, and software components, supply chains have become one of the most vulnerable and targeted areas for cyber threats.

This course offers a comprehensive and focused understanding of cybersecurity within the context of supply chain operations . It goes beyond general cybersecurity awareness to explore how vulnerabilities in third-party relationships, software dependencies, and infrastructure can expose entire organizations to risk.

From ransomware attacks that disrupt logistics to compromised hardware and malicious code embedded in vendor software — this course dives into real-world threats and teaches how to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across the supply chain lifecycle .
