Abstract

This study aims to 1) study factors affecting the cyber resilience in digital supply chain and 2) analyze the casual model of factors that affecting the cyber resilience in digital supply chain. The research is carry out by the quantitative research methods with sample of 400 from 3,077,822 of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand. The researcher collected data using questionnaire and distributed 5 questionnaires per SME. The questionnaires were returned to the response rate at 93.20%. Data was analyzed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The research found that 1) digital supply chain collaboration (Path Coefficient = 0.11), cyber threat management (Path Coefficient = 0.03) and digital supply chain risk management (Path Coefficient = 0.83) had direct and positive influence to cyber resilience in digital supply chain and had indirect to business continuity management through cyber resilience in digital supply chain, 2) digital supply chain collaboration (Path Coefficient = 0.39) and cyber threat management (Path Coefficient = 0.59) had direct and positive influence to digital supply chain risk management, and 3) cyber resilience in digital supply chain (Path Coefficient = 0.98) has direct and positive to business continuity management. In summary, cyber resilience is a state in which the organizations are robust, agile, capable of coping and recovering to the normal state as soon as possible after cyber attack.
