Preventing Software Supply Chain Attacks with Complyan:
A Comprehensive Solution for Managing and Mitigating Cybersecurity Risks in the Software Supply Chain
Software supply chain cybersecurity is important because software supply chain attacks can have significant consequences for organizations. In a supply chain attack, an attacker targets the software supply chain in order to gain access to an organization’s systems or networks. This can result in the compromise of sensitive data, the disruption of business operations, and damage to an organization’s reputation.
One example of a software supply chain attack is the SolarWinds breach, which occurred in 2020. In this attack, hackers targeted SolarWinds, a provider of IT management software, and inserted malicious code into a software update. The update was then distributed to thousands of SolarWinds customers, including government agencies and major corporations. As a result, the attackers could gain access to these organizations’ systems and steal sensitive data. The SolarWinds breach demonstrates the importance of cybersecurity for the software supply chain and the need for organizations to protect their software supply chains.
