Cyberattacks on supply chains increased by more than 51% between July and December 2021.<\/p>\n
The report which featured 1,400 cybersecurity decision-makers showed that only 36% of them bear more responsibility than their suppliers for preventing, detecting and resolving supply chain attacks. 53% said that their company and their suppliers are equally responsible for supply chain security.<\/p>\n
A supply chain is a network between a company and its suppliers in order to produce and distribute a particular product or service.<\/p>\n
There are several reasons why supply chain cyberattacks are on the rise. One of the reasons is that companies fail to set security standards for their suppliers, and one-third of companies do not regularly monitor and risk access their suppliers’ cybersecurity arrangements.<\/p>\n
To protect against supply chain attacks, organizations must recognize that their suppliers could pose a cyber risk, there is a need to increase the budget for security.<\/p>\n
Other measures include threat detection and response, cybersecurity reviews and assessments, security awareness and staff training, as well as infrastructure and application training and testing.<\/p>\n
