Supply Chains
German Logistics Association (BVL) presents study on cyber security
The cross-company protection of supply chains against cyber attacks has so far only been a marginal issue for most companies.
Only 42% of companies state that they already consider cyber security for the entire supply chain, with small and particularly large companies still lacking an overview. They are also self-critical and state that the protection of their own material flows against cyber attacks is not satisfactory. At the same time, the management of many companies relies on the ability of their IT to provide solutions and is not sufficiently aware of its own role in cyber security.
These are the findings of a new study conducted by BVL in collaboration with the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg and corporate partners One Identity, Schunck Group and secida. A survey of over 150 BVL member companies was conducted as part of this study.
It has become clear that cyber attacks have become an everyday crime - almost half of the companies surveyed have been victims of cyber criminals at least once in the last five years, and around a third have been affected several times. Websites (30 percent) and sensitive data (25 percent) were frequently targeted, and data encryption with subsequent blackmail was also common (15 percent). When analyzing the attacks, it emerged that company employees were often tricked into installing malware (37%).
Vulnerabilities accessible from the internet were also a gateway (28%). User IDs and passwords were misused in 15 percent of cases. However, there are also positive messages: the leading companies in terms of cyber security have not been hacked at all significantly more often than other companies in the last five years (42% compared to 26%).
