Jaguar Land Rover’s recent resumption of car manufacturing in the UK after a six-week cyber attack underscores the growing threat to automotive supply chains, where vulnerabilities in third-party suppliers can lead to significant operational disruptions. With over two-thirds of firms reporting increased cyberattacks, incidents involving Renault and Stellantis highlight the risks posed by interconnected supply chains and weaker security measures among smaller vendors. To mitigate these risks, experts recommend tightening access controls, enhancing monitoring of supplier interactions, and fostering collaborative cyber security partnerships. This shift towards a proactive, resilient approach is vital for maintaining business continuity and safeguarding sensitive data in an increasingly hostile cyber environment.
