[Keynote] Proactive Security Response: Mitigating Supply Chain Security Risks through Practical Drills

2:05 pm - 2:30 pm

As the semiconductor industry evolves into a hyper-connected ecosystem, the supply chain has become the primary target for sophisticated cyber adversaries. A security breach in a single supplier can cascade through the entire network, bypassing traditional perimeter defenses and threatening business continuity. In this complex landscape, isolated security measures are no longer sufficient to guarantee the integrity of the manufacturing process.

This presentation, titled "Proactive Security Response: Mitigating Supply Chain Security Risks," proposes "Cyber Security Drills" as a key collaborative defense strategy. The session emphasizes the shift from theoretical compliance to practical, field-oriented drills, designed to prepare organizations for the reality of evolving cyber threats.

The discussion will explore the strategic value of embedding these readiness capabilities into the corporate culture. It will highlight how continuous practice and preparedness serve as a fundamental business imperative for maintaining trust within the supply chain and ensuring the resilience of the global semiconductor value chain against future uncertainties.
