We find that many managers believe: that information security is less a competitive advantage than a qualifier for doing business; that firms’ internal networks are not at additional risk as a result of using the information infrastructure to integrate their supply chains; and that their supply chains are robust to internet outages of up to a week in duration. We discuss their security perceptions and actions in the context of a cost model.
