Why CISOs Are Watching The Genai Supply Chain Shift Closely
Help Net Security, Monday, April 21st, 2025
In supply chain operations, GenAI is gaining traction. But according to Logility's Supply Chain Horizons 2025 report, many security leaders remain uneasy about what that means for data protection, legacy tech, and trust in automation.
The survey of 500 global supply chain leaders shows that 97% are already using some form of GenAI. But only a third are using tools designed specifically for supply chain tasks. And nearly half (43%) say they worry about how their data is used or shared when applying GenAI. Another 40% don't trust the answers it gives.
For CISOs, these findings are a red flag. It's a reminder that speed of adoption can outpace secure implementation. The rush to experiment with GenAI is real, but many tools are being used outside formal IT oversight. One example noted in the report: using ChatGPT to summarize meeting notes. That's harmless in theory, but potentially risky depending on what data is shared and how.
