Assessment of Cyber Risks in an IoT-based Supply Chain using a Fuzzy Decision-Making Method

Abstract

Purpose: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a relatively new paradigm that is growing rapidly in modern wireless communication scenarios. The main idea of this concept is the pervasive presence of all kinds of objects around us. This technology is the basis of today's intelligent life and is known as one of the most important sources of big data. Meanwhile, businesses are no exception to this rule and try to use the Internet of Things to make their business smarter. Supply chain management is a goal-based goal of linking business operations to provide a common view of market opportunity. Methodology: Using IoT technology, all major parts of the supply chain, including supply, production, distribution and sales, can be affected. Because this evolutionary technology is intertwined with Internet technology, the use of network-based tools can always create risks for business owners who use these technologies. Therefore, understanding and investigating a variety of cyber risks in this area can It is very important and by understanding their hands, we can prevent many future risks. Linear analysis based on hierarchical analysis is used. Findings: The results show that privacy is very important in interaction with suppliers as well as customers, and therefore those effective measures to deal with these risks can reduce many of the problems caused by this technology. Originality/Value: This paper attend to assessment of cyber risks in an IoT-based supply chain using a fuzzy decision-making method.
