We don’t just identify risks—we drive decisions.

I’m Jake Andrews, founder of Six8 Supplier Intelligence. 

I specialize in turning complex threats into clear, actionable intelligence that protects critical defense systems and strengthens supply chain resilience. My expertise centers on Cyber-Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM), System Security Engineering integration, and the development of innovative tools and knowledge platforms. While most SCRM assessments simply assign a risk level and stop there, my Supply Chain Scout framework goes further by identifying specific operational, financial, schedule, and mission impacts. This transforms raw data into real knowledge that drives informed decisions. 

I’ve honed this skill set across two decades of turning raw intelligence into mission-critical knowledge in high-stakes environments in intelligence, cybersecurity, and supply chain risk management roles. As I’ve been working to establish Six8, I’ve thought back to my time as an intelligence analyst in the 101st Airborne assigned to the 7-17 Cavalry squadron “Palehorse”. The name Six8 comes from Revelation 6:8 — the verse that inspired the squadron’s callsign. My overriding focus — above every other consideration — was providing solid, reliable intelligence to the pilots who depended on it. That same mindset and sense of responsibility shaped my core motivation and drive to create efficient, repeatable systems for high-stakes environments. 

This same commitment powers Supply Chain Scout, the risk analysis framework I created to serve small manufacturers in the Defense Industrial Base. I’m currently developing Supply Chain Recon, an AI-accelerated supply chain risk assessment application. It is built on the Supply Chain Scout framework. Together, they give small manufacturers in the Defense Industrial Base both powerful AI-powered analysis and a repeatable, self-deployable methodology. 

My mission at Six8 Supplier Intelligence is to equip these critical partners with the visibility and risk intelligence they need to build stronger, more resilient supply chains. If you’re navigating supply chain risks in the defense sector, I’d welcome the opportunity to help.
