Supply Chain Risk and Security Explained

Welcome back to episode 3 of The Transfer Files where we dive into one of the most pressing issues facing businesses today - supply chain risk and security.

In this episode, James and Steph unpack what is meant by “supply chain” in the context of file transfer, exploring not just the internal movement of data within an organisation, but also how businesses interact with external partners and suppliers. They discuss why supply chain security has come under increased scrutiny, citing recent high-profile cyber breaches that have had devastating financial and reputational consequences for companies across the globe.

Listeners will also gain insights into how a secure managed file transfer system can help protect the supply chain, provided it is properly maintained, updated, and supported. They also highlight “red flags” for IT teams, such as lack of ownership of data transfer processes or not knowing what sensitive data is moving in and out of the organisation, and why addressing these issues proactively is essential.
