Recent research by RSM UK reveals that UK businesses are inadequately monitoring cyber risks within their supply chains. Only 55% of companies actively track these threats, and just 39% feel confident in their ability to withstand a cyber-attack. Alarmingly, 22% of respondents reported experiencing a cyber-attack or data breach in the past year.
The findings underscore the growing urgency for businesses to enhance their cyber resilience, especially in light of recent AI-related breaches involving companies like OpenAI. Sheila Pancholi from RSM UK emphasized that organizations must extend their risk assessments beyond their own systems to include third-party suppliers, as vulnerabilities in any part of the supply chain can jeopardize the entire operation.
Looking ahead, businesses are encouraged to adopt a proactive approach to cyber threats, as the landscape continues to evolve. RSM UK recommends maintaining a comprehensive inventory of key suppliers and regularly stress-testing cyber resilience measures to mitigate potential risks. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
