Securing Supply Chains in the Era of AI

When AI enters the supply chain, your biggest threat might not be a hacker—it might be a rogue Excel sheet buried deep in your processes. 

In this panel from Manifest, Blythe moderates an insightful discussion with data security leaders on what it really takes to secure supply chains in an AI-powered world. From hallucinating large language models to ecosystem-wide vulnerabilities, this episode is packed with honest perspectives you won’t hear on a sales deck.

Panelists included:

• Mike Polich, Head of Functional Logistics, Honeywell
• Mahesh Rajasekharan, President & CEO, Cleo
• Adam Anderson, Account Management Lead, Crisp

If your data is messy, your AI is useless—and potentially dangerous. This conversation breaks down how to audit internal systems, enforce better access controls, and shift from siloed operations to orchestrated ecosystems ready for intelligent automation.

Key takeaways:

• Bad data creates costly, invisible risks.
• Generative AI cannot work without structured and secure data.
• Most breaches originate from inside your organization.
• Companies that collaborate securely outperform those that don’t.
• Supply chain resilience depends on ecosystem-wide visibility and control.
