Sensitive information such as financial transactions and customer information are valuable to criminals. A single attack can cause major disruptions in the whole supply chain, irreparable damage to the system, and may even force the entire system to stop working because global logistics networks are complex, interconnected, and interdependent. The connections within the supply chain itself introduce another layer of complexity which increases the likelihood of undiscovered vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit. This is why cyberattacks target this delicate balance.
