Abstract: Abstract Successful supply chain management involves balancing multiple objectives, such as cost, responsiveness, sustainability, and flexibility. These objectives are dependent upon a secure and functioning information system, especially with the integration of information technology (IT) platforms to perform multiple supply chain management functions. Securing the materials, information, and finances transmitted along the supply chain is paramount, as supply chains have become the target of malicious supply chain attacks which can result in costly data breaches, physical impacts, and other compromises. Even the most secure information systems are vulnerable due to information exchanges with third parties, thereby incentivizing malicious parties to often target the weakest links in information-sharing partnerships. In this chapter, we will review the theoretical and methodological approaches to supply chain security, identify emerging challenges across a variety of technological use cases, and provide managerial recommendations for managing risk and ensuring a secure supply chain.
