Resilience Under Pressure: Security and Supply Chain Risk in Global Crises
Supply chains are more connected – and more exposed – than ever. In periods of global disruption, third-party risk, cyber incidents, and volatility in cost and routing can quickly ripple into missed deliveries, downtime, lost revenue, and reputational damage.
This webinar explores security and supply chain risk in the context of global instability, grounded in real-world use cases and customer experience. We’ll cover what “operating securely during global crises” looks like in practice, why security supply chain management is now a board-level concern, and how AI can help teams spot threats earlier and make faster, better decisions.
Key takeaways:
By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
- Identify where third-party and supplier risk escalates during global disruption – and how to reduce exposure.
- Understand why security supply chain management has become a board-level priority, and what good governance looks like.
- Build a more resilient approach to staying operational and secure during global crises.
- See how AI supports threat detection, resilience, and decision-making at scale across sectors and global businesses.
Why this matters
In sectors where continuity is critical, supply chains are deeply interconnected and dependent on third parties. Global disruption and cyber incidents can rapidly impact operations, service delivery, safety, and financial performance. Complex international sourcing and logistics networks increase exposure to volatility in cost, capacity, and routing, while a broad supplier ecosystem introduces significant third‑party risk across cyber, operational, and compliance domains.
This session focuses on practical steps to improve supplier security, maintain continuity during global disruption, and use AI to spot threats sooner and support faster decisions.
