How CIOs Keep Supply Chains Running Through Disruption
Citrix, Thursday, August 20th, 2026
Citrix argues supply chain resilience now depends on decoupling system access from location and device.
Citrix argues that with major supply chain disruptions now occurring roughly every 3.7 years on average, resilience has to be foundational rather than a contingency plan.
Leading CIOs are decoupling system access from physical locations and devices using flexible delivery models so operations continue regardless of where disruption lands.
Organizations lacking end-to-end visibility across suppliers and logistics face blind spots, and centralizing access creates a control plane for coordination and decision-making.
With around 30% of breaches involving third parties, CIOs are applying zero-trust approaches that restrict users to only the systems they need.
Dynamic scaling supports rapid onboarding of suppliers and workers while embedding governance and auditability into access delivery.
