Supply Chain Security

The intent of the Supply Chain Security Knowledge Unit is to provide students with an understanding of the security issues associated with building complex systems out of third party components of unknown (and potentially unknowable) origin.

Topics

  1. Global Development
  2. Off Shore Production
  3. Transport and Logistics of IT Components
  4. Evaluation of 3rd Party Development Practices
  5. Understanding of the Capabilities and Limits of Software and Hardware Reverse Engineering

Outcomes

  1. Describe the issues related to outsourcing hardware and/or software development and/or integration.
  2. Describe methods to mitigate these issues, and the limitations of these methods.
  3. Describe the issues related to outsourcing hardware and/or software development and/or integration
  4. Describe methods to mitigate these issues, and the limitations of these methods
