Cybersecurity for Safeguarding the Supply Chain | SCMT.X409

Cyber attacks and data breaches are happening on a daily basis everywhere prompting the US federal government to prioritize cybersecurity threats on critical supply chain networks. While large organizations have the ability to apply tremendous resources to manage their risks, the smaller organizations don’t have the same resources to put critical safeguards in place. This means risk on the supply chain relationship because large and small organizations work together in the supply chain.

In this course, we will discuss the range of cyber threats, their impact on supply chain, regulations, and best practices in the industry.

This course will provide you with additional skills on Cyber Security whether you work with governments, universities, healthcare, financial institutes, manufacturing, and more because we all work in one or even multiple supply chains. More and more requirements are being pushed out to the supply chain regarding Cyber Security requirements and compliance such as NIST SP800-171, CMMC, HIPAA, FINRA etc.
