Surge in Supply Chain Attacks Continues to Threaten Organizations in 2023

As organizations increasingly rely on third-party vendors and interconnected systems, the threat posed by supply chain attacks has become more pronounced in 2023. Noteworthy incidents have revealed how attackers exploit these vulnerabilities to infiltrate networks. A high-profile example involved a major software vendor that suffered a breach, leading to the compromise of multiple clients' networks. This incident highlights the need for better security practices throughout the supply chain. According to cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, approximately 60% of organizations have experienced a supply chain attack in the last year. Experts suggest that businesses adopt more rigorous vendor assessments and implement multi-layered security measures to mitigate these risks as the threat landscape continues to evolve.
