Supply Chain Characteristics as Predictors of Cyber Risk: A Machine-Learning Assessment. (arXiv:2210.15785v1 [q-fin.RM])

This paper provides the first large-scale data-driven analysis to evaluate
the predictive power of different attributes for assessing risk of cyberattack
data breaches. Furthermore, motivated by rapid increase in third party enabled
cyberattacks, the paper provides the first quantitative empirical evidence that
digital supply-chain attributes are significant predictors of enterprise cyber
risk. The paper leverages outside-in cyber risk scores that aim to capture the
quality of the enterprise internal cybersecurity management, but augment these
with supply chain features that are …
