Building on this foundation, the concept of resilience – and that of cyber-resilience – is discussed, and how an information-centric approach can assist in creating a more cyber-resilient supply chain. Finally, the article concludes with five steps an organization can take to improve the protection of its information:  i) map the supply chain; ii) build capability; iii) share information and expertise; iv) state requirements across the supply chain using standards, common frameworks, and languages; and v) measure, assess, and audit.10acyber-resilience10acybersecurity10adirect suppliers10aindirect suppliers10ainformation-centric approach10aprocurement10arequirements10aresilience10asupply chain10aTier 1 suppliers1 aDavis, Adrian  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/88701474nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245007200055210006900127260004200196300001000238490000600248520073200254653001900986653002701005653001901032653001601051653002301067653001601090653001501106653002301121653002401144100001601168856003601184       2015                        eng d  a1927-032100aImplementation Prerequisites for Electronic Procurement of Services0 aImplementation Prerequisites for Electronic Procurement of Servi  aOttawabTalent First Networkc02/2015  a15-230 v53 aService procurement is a business function of increasing importance and is highly suitable for integration of electronic support, but it suffers from severe research deficits. As yet, implementation prerequisites for electronic procurement of services are obscure and not quantifiable. In this research project, organization, formalization, and specialization of procurement and standardization and strategic importance of the procured services are identified as relevant implementation prerequisites. Measurement models for these prerequisites are established and proven through quantitative empirical research. As such, this article is a major step towards a more rigorous investigation of electronic procurement of services.10adigitalization10aelectronic procurement10aimplementation10aimprovement10aprocess innovation10aprocurement10apurchasing10aservice management10aservice procurement1 aReuter, Ute  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/870
