Supply Chain: The NCSC Game Changing Cybersecurity Training

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has recently released two new e-learning packages designed to enhance supply chain cybersecurity¹. As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, understanding and managing risks in the supply chain have become essential. Stygian Cyber Security, a leader in cybersecurity, fully supports this initiative and offers tailored services to ensure your organisation’s cybersecurity needs are met.

Unpacking NCSC’s New E-Learning Packages

The first package, “Mapping Your Supply Chain,” guides organisations through the process of gathering and utilising information from suppliers, including why this is critical and the benefits it offers¹. Additionally, it offers insights into the role of subcontractors and what this implies for contract negotiations.

The second package, “Gaining Confidence in Your Supply Chain,” provides practical steps for organisations to assess their supply chains’ cybersecurity¹. It outlines typical supplier relationships and how these can expose organisations to vulnerabilities and cyber attacks. The training also answers commonly encountered questions, helping organisations navigate the complexities of supply chain cybersecurity.

These free-to-use packages aim to address the alarming statistics presented in the DSIT 2023 Security Breaches Survey¹. The survey showed that a mere 13% of businesses review the risks posed by their immediate suppliers, and only 7% consider the wider supply chain. With cyber attacks potentially causing significant, costly, and long-term damage, these figures highlight an urgent need for increased focus on supply chain cybersecurity.
