Powering Performance

In partnership with NQC, a global leader in cyberthreat detection, AIAG has launched a new Supply Safe™: Cyber Initiative in support of industry efforts to protect shared data throughout the supply chain.

AIAG, in partnership with NQC – a global leader in cyberthreat detection – today announced the launch of a suite of cybersecurity tools to help automotive suppliers compare their current cybersecurity capabilities to industry best practices. The Supply Safe™: Cyber Safe Bundle includes a one-time third party virtual audit, along with either a basic or advanced enterprise risk assessment. Together, these resources allow suppliers to evaluate their overall cybersecurity efforts and identify the most critical areas for improvement.

Institutional customer demand for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information is rippling through entire supply chains, impacting publicly traded as well as privately held suppliers. The most influential requests are coming from organizations that directly participate in financial markets. These can include large asset owners (CalPERS, NY State), asset managers (BlackRock, State Street, Neuberger Berman), and specialized ESG research firms (Bloomberg, MSCI, Sustainalytics).

To allow participants to complete the survey at their convenience, we've extended the time period it will remain open. This survey will now be available for completion through Friday, August 9th! 

The automotive supply chain space is on the verge of significant change involving global megatrends such as digitalization, generational turnover, trade policy shifts, cybersecurity threats, and even changing mindsets on vehicle ownership, to name a few. Within each of these spaces, diverse influences change the resulting optics – making it critical to shine an objective light on these issues to keep industry informed.

After a successful series of events in the first half of the year, we’re gearing up for another round! From the co-hosted AIAG/SCAC Supply Chain and Quality Conference in South Carolina, to the Quality Summit, IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference and Customs Town Hall held more locally here in Metro Detroit, there’s sure to be an event for everyone.

Since launching the new AIAG Core Tools Support™ (CTS) software at the end of March, we’ve been busy talking to users, collecting feedback, and working on updates and improvements. Now, we’re ready to share our changes with you!

When it comes to small businesses and cybersecurity, the latest statistics are alarming: 43% of cybersecurity attacks target small businesses specifically, but only 14% of smaller organizations consider themselves “highly effective” at defending against such attacks.
