Supply chain disruption is no longer a niche operational worry for banks with 85% reporting at least some disruption. Even more telling, 25% say it hit hard enough to severely disrupt their operations, just as cloud and IT services that depend on those supply chains consumed 45% of global IT spend in 2024. The result is a web of third party scrutiny, cyber risk, and measurable financial impacts that many banks are now forced to quantify.
