Securing Cisco's Supply Chain - Cyberattacks and Intellectual Property Loss
summary
Cisco says over 80% of networking gear relies on its hardware and its supply chain handles 1.5 million orders last year across 600+ suppliers and 143,000 components. Risk work uses a likelihood×impact rubric, a master security specification and annual audits to score suppliers; an IP program uses a nine‑step pipeline with DLP (people/process/tech), backups and ROT elimination; anti‑counterfeit uses an immutable trust anchor TAM chip with a SUDI certificate baked at manufacturing plus secure boot and continuous runtime checks.
