Supply Chain Attacks Aren’t Just a Headline,
They’re a Wake-Up Call

In recent weeks, we’ve seen trusted UK brands grappling with the ripple effects of cyber breaches—not because they were the primary target, but because their supply chains were.

It’s a stark reminder that today’s organisations are only as secure as the partners, platforms, and systems they rely on. When one link in the chain is compromised, the impact can cascade rapidly, disrupt operations, damage trust, and ultimately affect the customer experience.

At Coliance, we specialise in B2B integration and automation, helping organisations strengthen the digital foundations that underpin their supply chain operations. But in 2025, it’s not just about moving data efficiently. It’s about moving data securely, resiliently, and intelligently.

So, what can businesses do? Here are three strategic areas we focus on with our clients:

1. Visibility through integration

Disconnected systems can obscure vulnerabilities. We help businesses gain full transparency over the flow of data, transactions, and partner interactions—across Sterling B2B Integrator, MQ, ACE, webMethods and more.

2. Proactive risk posture
Through our Opsis and Agora managed integration services, we don’t just fix problems—we prevent them. Real-time monitoring, alerting, and secure managed file transfer (MFT) practices give our clients the confidence to operate without blind spots.

3. Resilience by design
Business continuity starts with robust, well-architected integrations. We work with organisations to build adaptive supply chain platforms that can flex during disruptions—whether they’re due to a cyberattack, regulatory change, or market shock.

Supply Chain Security Is a Shared Responsibility

If you’re a CEO, CFO, CIO, CISO or Head of Operations now is the time to ask:

“Do I truly know how secure our supply chain is? And do our partners take this as seriously as we do?”

At Coliance, we work with global enterprises, logistics providers, and retailers to not only improve their integration landscapes but also to embed a culture of security and resilience across their ecosystems.

If this topic has struck a chord—or you’re re-evaluating your integration and automation strategy after recent events—let’s talk. The risks are real, but so are the solutions.
