Abstract

Every government and enterprise relies on a network of suppliers spanning the globe. This ecosystem of suppliers has been made more complex by the reliance of organisational processes and services on information and communication technologies (ICT). With the awareness that supply chain is serving as a medium in the cyberattack kill chain, it has become necessary to intensify efforts to mitigate the risks inherent in the supply chain of these technology products and services by striving to know who our suppliers really are. The aim of this paper is to review some of the efforts by the US Government and its agencies in reducing the occurrence and impact of supply chain risk on ICT products and services and how organisations within the private sector can leverage on these efforts to incorporate ICT supply chain into their enterprise risk management strategy with emphasis on knowing who their suppliers are.
