Cyber Risk Across The Supply Chain : From Exposure to Claims
In this episode of Navigating Risk, host Helen Yates is joined by Lucy Thomas and Callum Cooke to explore the growing threat posed by digital supply chain cyber risk and the steps organisations can take to strengthen resilience. As businesses become increasingly reliant on third-party technology providers, cloud platforms and digital services, cyber risk no longer sits solely within an organisation's own network. A single supplier breach can have far-reaching operational, financial and reputational consequences, impacting multiple organisations simultaneously. Lucy and Callum discuss why supply chain cyber risk should be considered a core business risk rather than simply an IT issue. They explore how organisations can improve supplier oversight, strengthen incident response planning and better prepare for the complex challenges that arise when disruption originates outside their direct control. The conversation also examines the role of cyber insurance, not only in managing financial losses, but in providing access to specialist legal, forensic, communications and incident response expertise when organisations need it most. An insight-rich episode for senior business leaders looking to strengthen organisational resilience, improve supply chain oversight and prepare for an increasingly interconnected cyber threat landscape.
