The Role of Digital Product Passports, TTRID Technologies, and Integrated Security Strategies in Preventing Counterfeits and Ensuring Operational Resilience

Increased digitalization of the textiles value chain poses great cybersecurity threats to supply chains worldwide, which necessitate end-to-end protection systems to guard against counterfeiting and production loss. This study discusses possible applications of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and Track and Trace Radio Identification (TTRID) technology to facilitate improved cybersecurity solutions in textiles supply chains. Drawing from qualitative literature review and case studies, this research discusses key vulnerabilities, evaluates technology effectiveness, and concludes organizational parameters needed for proper implementation of integrated solutions. The research adopts a systematic review methodology, combining academic literature, business reports, and actual case studies to create a vision for upcoming cybersecurity challenges and evolving solutions. The findings show that fashion supply chains experience multi-dimensional security threats in the form of counterfeiting intrusion, theft of data, and compromise of process. There exists tremendous potential for DPP and TTRID technologies to better enable traceability, authentication, and access, and implementation success hinging significantly upon organizational readiness, inter-functional coordination, and holistic training programs. The research contributes to scientific information in cybersecurity in specialized industries since it provides feasible recommendations to garment companies wanting to make their supply chain secure. The most critical recommendations include multi-layered protection structures, employee cybersecurity awareness programs, as well as establishment of industry-wide partnership models. The research bridges conceptual cybersecurity paradigms and industrial practice, hence providing a valuable tool to both industrial practitioners as well as academicians working in the highly competitive garment field.
