Abstract

This presentation, titled "An Enterprise's Visibility, Understanding, and Control of its Supply Chain," provides an introduction to fundamental cybersecurity risk management concepts and their application to modern supply chains. It offers insights into existing regulatory frameworks and practices, with a particular focus on the European Union's new NIS 2 directive.

The NIS 2 directive represents a significant advancement in enhancing cybersecurity resilience across the EU, and its implications extend globally. For Canadian companies, understanding and adapting to these regulatory changes is crucial. The presentation will delve into why this directive is important, how it impacts Canadian businesses, and its broader effects on the Canadian economy.

The goal is to empower organizations with the knowledge to improve their visibility, understanding, and control over their supply chains, thereby bolstering their overall cybersecurity posture.  By examining systematic strategies to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across the supply chain, the presentation aims to enhance the security frameworks within enterprises, ensuring they are well-prepared to meet the heightened cybersecurity expectations set forth by NIS 2 and other global standards.

By the end of this presentation, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how to navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape, particularly in the context of supply chain management, and how to leverage these insights to gain a strategic advantage in a highly interconnected global market.
