I korthet

Supply chain security protects physical goods and data across manufacturing, transport, and retail from counterfeiting, tampering, theft, and cyber attacks. Used by supply chain, operations, security, and logistics teams. Time to learn: 8–10 weeks. Sits between supply chain fundamentals and cybersecurity/compliance.

Vad är Supply Chain Security

Supply chain security is the protection of goods and data throughout the supply chain, from manufacturing to transport to retail, against counterfeiting, tampering, theft, cyber attacks, and regulatory violations. It combines physical security (locks, cameras, RFID), cyber security (access controls, encryption), and governance (supplier audits, compliance). Unlike general cybersecurity (which protects networks), supply chain security is physical + digital: tracking goods in transit, verifying product authenticity, protecting logistics systems, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

❓ Vanliga frågor

What are the biggest supply chain security threats?
Counterfeiting (fake/substandard products), tampering (theft or sabotage), cyber attacks on logistics systems, theft, and data breaches (customer info, trade secrets).
How do you detect counterfeits in a supply chain?
Use authentication tech: holograms, QR codes, RFID tags, blockchain tracking. Combine with visual inspection and supplier audits.
What's the cost of supply chain security?
Prevention (RFID, blockchain, audits) costs 1–3% of COGS. A counterfeit incident costs 10–100x that through brand damage, recalls, and lost sales.
Can blockchain solve supply chain security?
Blockchain provides immutable tracking, but only if all parties participate (rarely). It's one tool among many; use with RFID, IoT, and audits.
How does GDPR/compliance affect supply chain security?
Regulations mandate supplier audits, data protection, and incident reporting. Supply chain security teams now handle compliance as much as theft prevention.
