Cybersecurity in the Supply Chain: Protective measures at Körber

In an increasingly digitalized world, cybersecurity threats are ubiquitous. Particularly critical are attacks on the supply chain, which can have devastating consequences for companies and their customers.

Supply chain attacks are particularly dangerous because they target the weakest links in a supply chain. Hackers know that large companies often have well-protected fronts. Therefore, they look for vulnerabilities in suppliers to infiltrate the networks of their main targets through this route. 

"A successful attack can not only cripple the affected supplier but also cause significant damage to its customers," Pashov emphasizes, further explaining that such a scenario necessitates Körber to ensure the highest security standards. "If we neglect the issue of cybersecurity, we could be identified by our customers as the weakest link and become a target of an attack. The consequences would not only be financial but could also permanently damage our customers' trust in us."

"At Körber, we are aware of the responsibility we bear as a critical supplier. That's why we have firmly integrated cybersecurity into our production processes - from research and development to engineering and product lifecycle management. A key component of our security strategy is ISO 27001 certification, which we have achieved for important parts of our company. This certification with a customer-oriented scope demonstrates our commitment to the highest security standards. Our goal is to expand this certification to ensure a uniformly high level of security for all our products and services," explains Ilian Pashov. Pashov continues, "Cybersecurity is not just a technical necessity but a strategic commitment to protect our customers' trust."

"The commitment to cybersecurity doesn't end with certification. We continuously strive to improve our security measures and adapt to the constantly changing threat landscape. This includes regular training for our employees, investments in modern security technologies, and close collaboration with our customers to meet their specific security requirements," Pashov summarizes.

In a world where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and frequent, Körber remains vigilant and proactive. Customers can thus find a partner who not only offers solutions of the highest quality but also ensures their security.
