Abstract: Digital supply chains bring new risks. Some are purely technical, such as unsecured Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Others are geopolitical, such as trade sanctions that prevent businesses from acquiring critical materials. The greatest risks, however, are those that exist deep in the supply chain and have not yet been exposed. Supply chain professionals operating in a world of automated commerce need a foundational understanding of new technologies and practices, how they expose supply chain members to risk and what steps can be taken to leverage them safely. This paper provides practical strategies to secure IoT, 5G, 3D printing and software supply chains, and offers recommendations on creating structured processes around people, practices and vendors to participate in the global economy with confidence.
