Log4j highlighted the difficulty in tracking and fixing security vulnerabilities in complex supply chains. According to our global research of 1,400 cyber security decision makers, supply chain attacks have increased by 51% in the past six months.
In the latest edition of our Insight Space series, we explain how you can prevent, detect and respond to supply chain attacks. We also outline how you can reduce third-party risk by adopting a risk-based approach to supplier management.

Crunch time:
A back door for hackers? The rise of cyber security risks in company supply chains.
Cyber security attacks on company supply chains have increased sharply in the past year, but there is confusion about whether companies or their suppliers are responsible for keeping supply lines secure.
Technical Viewpoint
How to prevent, detect and respond to a supply chain attack.
Supply chains at large organisations often include thousands of enterprises, partners, service providers, contractors and other suppliers. Managing risk across these complex networks is difficult, so there is a huge dependency on trust across global supply chains. However, recent cyber attacks have targeted organisations through their third parties, so relying on trust to provide strong business assurance without strong measures and controls is simply an illusion.
Executive Viewpoint
How to reduce supply chain risk
Working with suppliers is business-as-usual for most large organisations around the world. According to our recent global survey of 1,400 cyber security decision makers, many plan to invest in new third-party software, hardware and SaaS products this year. These solutions can strengthen operations and increase efficiencies, but they can also increase organisations’ cyber risk by providing new avenues for hackers to infiltrate their networks and systems.
