Supply Chain Security
Supply chain security involves the strategies, protocols, and regulations that protect the integrity and continuity of supply chains. It encompasses both physical and digital safeguards to manage risks posed by theft, tampering, terrorism, cyberattacks, and supply disruptions. In today’s complex global landscape, securing supply chains is vital to ensure resilience, compliance, and trust in international trade.
