As automated technologies and digital collaboration tools such as Microsoft 365 become ever more integrated into supply chain businesses around the world, IT and Infosec teams must work together to ensure their systems and data are able to withstand increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks and intense supply chain disruption, all while managing unprecedented cost and logistical pressures.

In this digital roundtable, we’ll hear from Ben Vickery, Data Protection & Microsoft 365 Service Manager at Associated British Foods, who will share his insights into how his team is driving secure transformation with a Microsoft first strategy across a vast stable of household brands in 52 countries including Primark, Twinings, Patak’s, Silver Spoon, Ovaltine and Ryvita.

As companies take their businesses to the cloud, Ben will share his experience of building a strong culture of collaboration, cyber resilience and data security as part of Associated British Food’s cloud transformation strategy across its workforce of 140,000 employees. He will also share his thoughts on the importance of managing data breach risk while prioritising user experience and customer trust in an age of hybrid working and exponentially rising data volumes.

Other topics will include: consolidation of data as part of a cloud modernisation strategy; data governance and collaboration amongst employees and supply chain partners; and, what security and privacy measures should be in place to ensure data protection across geographies.

This digital roundtable will also feature a moderated discussion with senior industry peers covering some of the key cloud transformation and cyber security challenges for supply chain businesses at a time of maximum disruption.

Topics for discussion:

•What are the key cyber and data security challenges for supply chain businesses as they move to the cloud?
