Supply Chain Attacks Are on the Rise – Are You Prepared?
Let’s face it — cybersecurity is a trust game. But in a world where supply chain attacks are becoming more frequent, blind trust isn’t an option. Imagine playing in a football final, and your goalkeeper doesn’t know how to stop a penalty. Would you still trust him to protect the goal?
In cybersecurity, every weak link in your supply chain is a potential own goal.
And that’s exactly how you should approach third-party security. Zero trust isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a survival strategy. You can throw around compliance checklists, audits, and certifications all you want, but if a vendor can’t prove they’re secure, should you really be trusting them?
The Harsh Reality: Third-Party Breaches Are a Growing Threat
Recent studies show that nearly 50% of organizations have experienced cyber incidents originating from third parties. That’s one out of every two businesses hit because of a weak link in their supply chain. And with regulations like NIS2 and DORA making executive boards directly accountable for cybersecurity, this is no longer just a “technical issue.” It’s a boardroom priority.
Some key trends:
- 63% of organizations have third-party vendors accessing their systems.
- 60% store sensitive data on third-party infrastructure.
- Accountability is rising — 80% of executive boards now have cybersecurity on their radar.
Compliance Alone Won’t Save You
Traditional compliance frameworks aren’t cutting it anymore. Certifications are useful, but let’s be honest — checking a box doesn’t mean a vendor is truly secure. A security strategy needs to be proactive, continuous, and deeply integrated into your risk management framework.
What’s working?
- Continuous risk assessments instead of one-time audits.
- Automated security scoring to evaluate vendors dynamically.
- Greater visibility into your supply chain’s security posture.
