Supply Chain Attack

A supply chain attack is a cybersecurity threat that targets the vulnerabilities in the supply chain of software or hardware, allowing attackers to compromise a system indirectly by infiltrating a trusted third-party provider. This type of attack exploits the relationships and dependencies between organizations, making it difficult to detect and mitigate the threat before it affects the end users. By manipulating components or services within the supply chain, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems.
