The 104 U.S.-based respondents said they would accept an average 17% increase in third-party supplier costs to ensure resilience—70% would accept 11% or more. Geopolitical tensions (30%) topped threat concerns, while 47% reported experiencing a cyber-related supply chain disruption in the past 24 months. Only 39% had conducted a full cyber resilience stress-test in the last year.
