This study explores the relationship between cybersecurity in the electronics manufacturing sector and resilience in supply chain management, focusing on sustainable innovation as a mediating factor. This study applies the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) to examine how processes driven by cybersecurity employment-based practices underpin sustainable innovation while increasing the ability to adapt supply chains. For segment by Application, the sub-segments are Electronics Logistics Service Providers, Electronics Component Manufacturers, Electronics Manufacturing Services(EMS), and Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs). The relationships among cybersecurity measures, sustainable innovation, and supply chain resilience are tested using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The findings provide insight into how critical intermediate outcomes, as exemplified by improvements in sustainable innovation induced by robust cybersecurity, serve to increase supply chain resilience. Cybersecurity and sustainable innovation have a crucial common interest that emphasizes the need to implement cybersecurity frameworks that can effectively respond to Supply Chain for operational effectiveness and long-term sustainability. The findings suggest that firm actions that consider cybersecurity preparedness and innovation-driven adaptability are important for strengthening such chain resilience in an increasingly digital and complex marketplace. This paper contributes to the literature through the empirical assessment of how sustainable innovation mediates the relationship between cybersecurity tools and supply chain resilience. In this blog post, we aim to share these insights for industry practitioners who can leverage cybersecurity, in turn, as a driver of sustainable and resilient supply chain strategies in the electronics manufacturing industry. © 2025 IEEE.
