Supply chain attacks: How to protect your company against them

What role does the human factor play in supply chain attacks?

Cybercriminals have realised that supply chain vulnerabilities are an effective gateway into corporate networks and don’t hesitate to use this tactic whenever they find the opportunity. However, many of these attacks aren’t initially directed toward the technical systems. Instead, they target people by using sophisticated social engineering methods like spear phishing.

How can organisations be prepared for these attacks? While the threat landscape is rather complicated, the answer to this question is simple: By educating their employees about the risks of supply chain attacks and how to identify and report suspicious activity.
