Topic Abstract: Supply chains present a weak link for cybersecurity because organisations can’t always control the security measures taken by supply chain partners. But is that the only concern? Supply chain can also include physical people on the network, open source software libraries, or devices connected and managed by third parties. This can create opportunities for cybercriminals to attack an organisation by first infiltrating a supply chain partner or the systems and software we become dependent on. Organisations and their partners need to be aware of this risk and act to protect each other to prevent material impact to an organisation.
