Scope

Supply chain risk mapping

The resilience of the global Internet increasingly depends on fragile and geographically concentrated supply chains: routing hardware, DNS infrastructure components, submarine cable systems, cloud dependencies, and critical software layers. The initiative was established to move beyond abstract cybersecurity debates and focus on structural supply chain vulnerabilities affecting core Internet infrastructure. The objective was to design a programme capable of convening technical operators, policymakers, and private-sector actors around a shared risk model grounded in operational reality.

We structured a resilience framework that mapped supply chain interdependencies across infrastructure layers, identified single points of concentration, and translated technical risk into governance-relevant language. The work included programme architecture, international workshops, and policy dialogues, ensuring alignment between network operators, standards bodies, and public institutions. The result was a replicable model for strengthening infrastructure continuity, reducing strategic dependency, and embedding resilience thinking into institutional decision-making processes.
