Information and Communications Technology (ICT) supply chain risks may include insertion of counterfeits, unauthorized production, tampering, and theft, insertion of malicious software and hardware, as well as poor manufacturing and development practices in the ICT supply chain. These risks are associated with an organization's decreased visibility into, and understanding of, how the technology that they acquire is developed, integrated, and deployed, as well as the processes, procedures, and practices used to assure the integrity, security, resilience, and quality of the products and services. Threats and vulnerabilities created by malicious actors are often especially sophisticated and difficult to detect, and thus provide a significant risk to organizations. ICT Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risks associated with the global and distributed nature of ICT product and service supply chains.
