Government supply chains are complex, globally interconnected ecosystems – and that complexity introduces risk at every stage of the product life cycle.
Serious vulnerabilities provide an opportunity for adversaries to do significant harm, such as theft of a country’s intellectual property, or infiltration of Tier-N suppliers across multiple systems or geographies.
A disrupted supply chain has a direct impact on consumers, communities and entire nations, ranging from interrupted flow of goods and services, counterfeit goods, loss of innovation and jobs, or weakened military strength.
