🚢 Securing the supply chain: lessons from the Port of Antwerp-Bruges How do you protect one of Europe’s most critical infrastructures in an increasingly complex threat landscape? During our GRC: Be Connected! Experience Sharing Day 2026, Yannick Herrebaut (Port of Antwerp-Bruges) shared a compelling case study on Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) — a topic that is rapidly becoming a top priority for organisations. 🔗 At the Port of Antwerp‑Bruges, cyber resilience is only as strong as the weakest link in its supply chain. With thousands of stakeholders and critical operations at stake, managing third-party risk is not just an IT challenge — it’s a matter of operational integrity and economic stability. 💡 Key insight: moving beyond static checklists The Port has implemented a dynamic, risk-based TPRM framework to secure its vast ecosystem of partners and suppliers — addressing a threat landscape where supply chain attacks are on the rise. 🔍 What this case highlights: 🔹 Third-party risk is one of today’s top cybersecurity challenges 🔹 Supply chain security is now a core requirement under NIS2 🔹 A proactive, risk-based approach is essential to achieve true cyber resilience A powerful reminder that in today’s interconnected world, no organisation is an island. 📖 Discover the full case study: https://lnkd.in/eubPfXYt #GRC #CyberSecurity #CyberResilience #SupplyChainSecurity #TPRM #NIS2 #CriticalInfrastructure #GRCBeConnected #CyberCommunity
