Developing a Framework to Evaluate the Cyber-protection of the Information Sharing across Different Types of Supply Chain Governance

Abstract:

The rising reliance on digital technologies to share information across different actors in the supply chain and the evolving integration of systems across organizations to achieve end-to-end visibility has increased the supply chain’s exposure to cyber threats. This paper focuses on developing a framework for cyber protection of inter-organizational information sharing in the supply chain, focusing on governance mechanisms adopted by the leading actors. The governance models and the information-sharing type shape the cyber protection required in terms of cybersecurity investments, training, and organizational structures. This paper extends the concepts of the Port Community System (PCS) towards a more comprehensive complex supply chain structure.
