Cyber Security is more important than ever, with large businesses and organisations investing significant sums in their own defences. Cyber criminals however are always looking for the weakest link and often a vulnerability somewhere in the Supply Chain is
used as an entry point.
As organisations tighten their own defences, attackers are increasingly exploiting procurement and supply chain vulnerabilities, with devastating financial, legal, operational,
and reputational consequences. These include loss of data and/or intellectual copy right (IPR), as well as cyber fraud. This course will help you understand the threats and what you need to do to protect yourself, whether you are procuring, supplying or both and,
