Supply Chain Compromise occurs when cyber attackers gain unauthorized access to an organization by targeting its suppliers, vendors, or service providers. Instead of attacking the organization directly, hackers exploit vulnerabilities in third-party partners, using their trusted connections to infiltrate the target company’s systems or data. This type of attack can lead to widespread damage, as compromised suppliers may serve multiple organizations. Effective supply chain security involves assessing and monitoring the cybersecurity practices of all partners to prevent such breaches.
