Topic: Supply Chain Security: Preventing Second Hand or Counterfeit Computing Device Components

Increasingly, large enterprise customers are requiring Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) and/or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) to show demonstrable proof that they have a secure supply chain. These manufacturers must prove, through controlled, documented, and audited means, that their supply chain ecosystem is secure throughout the product development lifecycle (pre-manufacturing through product end-of-life.) This legitimate concern is based on the growing threat posed by second hand or counterfeit computing device components. Disruptions in supply chains and the possible introduction of counterfeit components can increase risks to the proper functioning and overall reliability of electronic devices. Even worse, such contaminated platforms may include malware that could potentially lead to data theft or other types of system compromise. To prevent this, organizations should only partner with technology vendors that provide verifiable proof that their products are free of second hand or counterfeit components. To do so, a manufacturer should be able to trace serial numbers or similar identifiers that are stamped or embedded on hardware during downstream manufacturing. For software components, these manufacturers should work with their software vendors to ensure that only accurate, non-counterfeit software is ever installed on their products.
