We will examine the post-COVID cyber threat landscape and explain why procurement professionals are increasingly targeted. Cohen will provide practical guidance on integrating CTI into supply chain operations and building cyber risk management frameworks, supported by real-world case studies like the Target breach, and will conclude with actionable steps for implementing cyber resilience measures in procurement processes.
