This type of attack can affect hardware, software, or services. _ A supply chain attack targets an organization by compromising its suppliers or partners, using them as a vector to infiltrate the organization
• Used by attackers to insert malware into software updates or hardware components provided by a trusted supplier.• Employed in large-scale attacks on critical infrastructure, where compromise of a single supplier can affect multiple organizations.
A supply chain attack can compromise not only the target organization but also its customers, partners, and other interconnected entities, leading to widespread damage.
Organizations can mitigate the risk by thoroughly vetting their suppliers, implementing security controls for third-party vendors, and monitoring for suspicious activity.
Notable examples include the SolarWinds attack, where malware was introduced through a software update, and attacks on hardware manufacturers that compromised devices before they reached customers.
