Supply Chain Security Summit

Supply chain vulnerabilities now pose a direct threat to business continuity. A single compromised third party can disrupt your entire digital ecosystem. In this context, identifying which partners are truly critical is critical to operational resilience.

This session uses the World Economic Forum's Global Value Chains framework to pinpoint persistent risks across your supply chain and align your approach with Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) requirements.

Steve Yates, Resilience Association Chairman and Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Information Technology (WCIT), will address the real-world challenges organizations face in managing supply chain and third-party risk. He will share actionable strategies for early risk detection, dependency assessment and building a resilient operational foundation.

Key Takeaways:
- Identify persistent risks in global supply chains and digital ecosystems.
- Examine lessons from major cyberattacks that disrupted global infrastructure and impacted entire communities.
- Apply proven methods to review supply chains and establish early warning for emerging risks.
- Implement third-party security strategies such as continuous monitoring, dependency mapping, and risk-based assessments.
- Strengthen your organization's resilience against supply chain disruption.
