Abstract

Supply chain security in information systems is a vital topic in the digital age, as it faces many challenges related to protecting data and information transmitted across supply networks. This economic study aims to analyze the potential risks that information systems may face in the context of the supply chain, in addition to the prevention strategies that can be adopted to reduce those risks. It also highlights the relationship between securing the  supply chain and achieving economic efficiency in companies, which enhances the stability of business operations and increases their effectiveness. Supply chain security in information systems is also a topic of utmost mportance in light of  the rapid technological transformations that the world is witnessing today. Information systems contribute to facilitating business operations and achieving efficiency, but the exposure of these systems to security risks such as hacking and digital threats may significantly affect the stability and reputation of companies. This economic study aims to analyze the challenges facing information systems in the supply chain, identify their
economic impacts on institutional performance, and review the strategies that companies can adopt to enhance security and data protection, and achieve a balance between cost and security to maintain business continuity.
