IFF Assessment
Supply chain attacks are a significant threat to defenders as they can compromise multiple organizations through a single point of failure.
Defender Context
Defenders need to be highly vigilant about supply chain risks, extending their security monitoring and assurance processes to third-party software and services. This includes rigorous vendor risk management and implementing advanced detection mechanisms that can identify anomalous behavior originating from trusted software.
