Nearly every organization worldwide (97%) has been hit by supply chain breaches, up dramatically from 81% in 2024, according to BlueVoyant's latest survey of 1,800 IT leaders.
Despite the alarming jump, companies are fighting back. Almost half are now collaborating directly with third parties to fix security issues, and 46% claim to have mature risk management programs in place.
But there's a catch: many programs focus on compliance checkboxes rather than actually reducing risk. Only 16% of companies list risk reduction as their primary goal, while cyber insurance requirements and board mandates drive most efforts. The biggest challenge? Lack of internal support, cited by 60% of program managers.
