Supply Chain Risk Management

We are delighted to announce that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's (ODNI) National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) has opened registration for the 2025 Supply Chain Security Technical Symposium.

As we continue to develop new and increasingly connected technologies, secure and resilient supply chains are at the forefront of discussions regarding both economic prosperity and national security. While many emerging technological trends, like developments in artificial intelligence and quantum computers, promise new security solutions, they also introduce their own risks and vulnerabilities as attack surfaces expand, critical resources are constrained, and global supply chains become ever more complex.

ODNI's 2025 symposium will be held in Northern Virginia which will be open to academia industry on the first day of the event, 8 April 2025. The symposium will bring together experts, practitioners, visionaries, and thought leaders from the Intelligence Community (IC), Department of Defense (DoD), international partners, commercial industry, defense industrial base, and academia to explore critical issues related to cyber supply chain security, and to provide actionable insights and recommendations to IC and DoD leadership. Attendees will have unique access to the people and technologies that are transforming the future of supply chain security.

Protecting Supply Chains for Critical Technologies

In October 2021, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) prioritized outreach efforts in five critical technology sector areas: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Bioeconomy, Autonomous Systems, Quantum, and Semiconductors.

These technologies present unique opportunities and challenges where the stakes are potentially greatest for U.S. economic and national security.

One of the unique challenges is managing the threats and risks to the very complex supply chains that support each one of these critical and emerging technologies.

For National Supply Chain Integrity Month in April 2022, NCSC focused on supply chain security issues unique to AI, specifically machine learning (ML) an AI subset; autonomous systems, specifically autonomous vehicles; and semiconductors

The awareness materials below highlight the unique supply chain issues associated with these critical technologies.
