Exacerbated by growing complexity and the need to be visible, these supply chains share vital streams of information every minute of the day, thereby becoming an easy and highly lucrative target for talented criminals, causing financial losses as well as damaging brand reputation and value. Companies must therefore invest in supply chain capabilities to withstand cyber-attacks (i.e., cyber-resilience) in order to guard against potential threats. They must also embrace the reality that this often-unknown dimension of risk is the "new normal". Although interest on this topic has grown in the business world, less has been reported by the academic community. One reason for this could be due to the convergence of two different disciplines, information technology and supply chains, where supply chain cyber-risk and cyber-resilience appear to have a natural fit. The topic of cyber-resilience in supply chains is still in early stages of development, and this is one of the first journals to focus a special issue on it. Currently, the closest academic literature is within the realms of supply chain risk and resilience, where numerous models and frameworks exist. In this article, this literature is explored to identify whether these models can incorporate the dimension of cyber-risk and cyber-resilience. In doing so, we create a research agenda for supply chain cyber-resilience and provide recommendations for both academia and practice. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 5 %P 6-12 %8 04/2015 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/885 %N 4 %1 Technical University of Denmark Omera Khan is a Full Professor of Operations Management at the Technical University of Denmark. She works with leading organizations on a range of supply chain and logistics issues and is advisor to many universities developing courses in logistics, supply chains, and operations management. She has led and conducted research projects commissioned by government agencies, research councils, and companies in supply chain resilience, responsiveness, sustainability, and the impact of product design on the supply chain. Her latest area of research focuses on cyber-risk and resilience in the supply chain. Omera is an advisor to many organizations and provides specialist consultancy in supply chain risk management. She is a highly acclaimed presenter and is regularly invited as a keynote speaker at global conferences and corporate events. She has published her research in leading journals, contributed to several book chapters, and is lead author of Handbook for Supply Chain Risk Management: Case Studies, Effective Practices and Emerging Trends. She founded and was Chair of the Supply Chain Risk and Resilience Research Club and the Product Design and Supply Chain Special Interest Group. She has also been a visiting professor at a number of leading business schools. %2 Technical University of Denmark Daniel A. Sepulveda Estay is a PhD researcher at the Technical University of Denmark, where he researches cyber-risk and security in the global supply chain. He has worked in the engineering and supply divisions of a number of multinational companies, both in strategic/leadership and operational roles for over 11 years, having partially led initiatives such as the implementation of lean manufacturing in Coca-Cola Company Latin America and supply rationalization in BHP BillitonÂŽs copper projects division. Daniel has a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Federico Santa Maria Technical University in Valparaiso, Chile, an MSc degree in Industrial Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in Santiago, Chile, and an MSc degree in Management from the MIT Sloan School of Management, in Boston, United States. %R http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/885
