Supply Chain Attacks
Supply chain attacks are a type of cybersecurity threat where an attacker targets the vulnerabilities in the supply chain of a product or service, aiming to compromise the integrity of the software or hardware before it reaches the end user. This can involve infiltrating third-party vendors, software updates, or components to introduce malicious code or exploit weaknesses, ultimately affecting the final product's security. By manipulating the supply chain, attackers can gain access to sensitive data or systems without directly breaching the primary target.
