Many factors have come together to increase the likelihood of a cyberattack on your supply chain. As the number of attack vectors has risen dramatically, cyber criminals, belligerent governments, and other threat actors have been targeting supply chains more actively. These cyber threats are becoming more severe when supply chains are already in crisis — a May 2022 report published by Accenture found that supply chain disruptions have led to a loss of €112 billion (0.9 percent of GDP) in the eurozone alone. Depending on the effects of the war in Ukraine, these losses could climb to €920 billion (7.7 percent of GDP) next year.
