Protect your supply chain from invisible risks

A guide to cyber resilience in the supply chain

In today’s complex landscape, where organizations are more interconnected than ever, risks no longer stop at your perimeter: they begin well before. 60% of companies have experienced a supply chain breach in the past year, and many of them failed to anticipate it.

At Telefónica Tech, we’ve developed the report Supply Chain Protection, a practical, actionable guide to building real cyber resilience against threats that originate from third parties, fourth parties, or even “hidden pillars” within your digital ecosystem.

Why anticipate what you can’t see?

Digitalization, outsourcing, and shared technologies have expanded your attack surface. Remote providers, common tech services, or partners with low digital maturity can become critical entry points if left unmanaged. This is where the FPRM (Fourth-Party Risk Management) approach comes into play.

This strategy helps you map, assess, and mitigate risks beyond your immediate third parties, identifying cascading effects before they escalate.

What you’ll find in this guide

• Current challenges and real-world examples of cyberattacks in the supply chain.
• Practical strategies: from extended audits and simulation exercises to contracts with cybersecurity clauses.
