Identify cybersecurity methods of distribution disruption.

Identification should include

  • methods of distribution (i.e., transportation method)
  • methods of disruption
    • denial of service
    • malware (e.g., viruses, worms, ransomware)
    • social engineering (e.g., phishing)
    • system hacking and data manipulation (e.g., supply routes and logistics management)
  • potential miscommunication issues in trade (e.g., outside the contiguous United States [OCONUS], contiguous United States [CONUS])
  • false advertising.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How are AFNR products transported?
  • How could false advertising pose a potential threat to the distribution sector?
  • How do cyberattacks affect distribution ?
  • Why is it important to protect against false trade numbers?
  • Why is product distribution dangerous in the era of self-driving technology?
