The theme for this week's Cyber Security Awareness Month blog is "Supply Chain and Third-Party risks. The Australian Cyber Security Centre
advises us to choose products and services that are secure 'by design' meaning the products, services and systems are built with security in mind from the start - let's delve into this a little more and understand how we help clients to reduce risks by having robust vendor management processes in place.
When we think about cyber security, we often focus on firewalls, passwords, and software updates. But what about the suppliers, vendors, and third parties we rely on every day? At Integrated ICT, we know that securing our customers means securing the entire supply chain.
Cyber supply chain risk exists when any external party, whether a manufacturer, distributor, or service provider, is involved in delivering products or services. If they’re vulnerable, so are you.That’s why we encourage our customers to choose products and services that are secure by design. It’s not just about what you buy, it’s about who you buy it from.
Our Approach at Integrated ICT
We help our customers build resilience by supporting them to:
- Identify their supply chain
- Understand cyber risks
- Set clear security expectations
- Audit for compliance, that is making sure everyone in your supply chain is doing the right thing, when it comes to cyber security, so you can trust the products and services they provide.
- Monitor and improve practices
This isn’t just theory. It’s part of how we operate, embedding security into our vendor relationships, service delivery, and technology stack.
Cyber security is a shared responsibility. Let’s work together to secure a robust and trustworthy supply chain, ensuring that every partner and provider upholds the highest standards so we can all operate with confidence.
