A new global survey indicates that confidence in supply chain resilience has rebounded in 2025, following years of disruption due to the pandemic and geopolitical tensions. However, cyber risk has now become a top concern for logistics and supply chain leaders worldwide.
The report, published by DP World and Economist Impact, reveals that 64% of supply chain executives feel more confident about their operations than in previous years. Investments in digital infrastructure, nearshoring, and supplier diversification have played key roles in restoring this optimism.
Despite the progress, the rising frequency of cyberattacks targeting logistics and transportation networks is alarming stakeholders. With increasing digitisation across ports, warehouses, and shipping, vulnerabilities in supply chain IT systems pose significant operational and financial risks.
Industry leaders stress the need for comprehensive cyber risk strategies, including employee training, robust backup protocols, and closer collaboration between logistics players and cybersecurity firms to ensure continuity in global trade.
