The lethal detonation of hand-held pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah militants this week in Lebanon demonstrated powerful spycraft, raising questions about vulnerabilities in the global supply chain. It highlights a complex network that is arguably beyond the ability of any government or corporation to comprehensively police. This incident pushes us to reevaluate the security measures in place at every level of production, as the risks are often obscured by the sheer complexity of supply chains.
The upheavals of the pandemic taught a crucial lesson: the longer the journey to create a product, the greater the chances for something to go wrong, leading to delays and increased costs. Now, we face an even more pressing concern: the intricate paths these products travel create opportunities for malicious actors to infiltrate and potentially weaponize these crucial goods, begging the need for heightened vigilance in supply chain management.
