Why AI Security in the Supply Chain Starts Below the Software Layer
· Source: thegamingboardroom.com
In short
AI has become integral to supply chain functions including supplier qualification, demand forecasting, and logistics optimization, but these systems rely on complex hardware, firmware, and third-party components that introduce new security risks. The article emphasizes that securing AI in supply chains requires starting below the software layer with hardware-anchored identity, tamper detection, and cryptographic attestation to create a persistent chain of custody. Leading organizations are extending zero-trust principles across edge devices and operational technology to continuously validate models and dependencies through hardware telemetry.
