BESTSELLER does business globally, and its dependency on external suppliers is higher than ever. Many global supply chains are under a large pressure. This has been made even more clear by the war in Ukraine where the significant consequences in connection with e.g. the production of electric vehicles took most people by surprise. This also applies within the IT area where more and more functions are moved into the “sky” and to external suppliers. This creates a more complex threat assessment regarding cyber security which your company must also relate to. Be inspired by Thomas from BESTSELLER, who tells how they handle the threat and how they communicate these risks to essential stakeholders like employees, management, customers, and suppliers. How do you minimise hacking risks resulting in substantial costs in the shape of downtime, loss of business opportunities, reduced service, and poor image? Which role do suppliers play and how are they connected to business-critical functions and data? Learn about BESTSELLER’s experiences and hear more about tangible solutions within for instance the company’s central logistics function. Do we perhaps forget the most important thing, intentionally?
