Fed Security Supply Chain Security Protects Against Threats
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Federal supply chain security is a protocol that monitors the risks of contracting with external logistics, transportation, suppliers, and vendors. These government measures safeguard the distribution of products and services from theft, terrorism, and cyberattacks.
Physical security is just as important as cybersecurity because it protects the business’ assets, facilities, employees, and workers. Implementing it means keeping buildings, warehouses, transportation routes, and other necessary infrastructure safe from theft, damage, and people with ill intentions. This practice applies to government clients and vendors.
