Attackers find it hard to resist the lure of software supply chains: They can all-too quickly and easily access a wide breadth of sensitive information — and thus gain juicier payouts.
In just one year alone — between 2020 and 2021 — software supply chain attacks grew by more than 300%. And, 62% of organizations admit that they have been impacted by such attacks.
Experts warn that the onslaught isn’t going to slow down. In fact, according to data from Gartner, 45% of organizations around the world will have experienced a ransomware attack on their digital supply chains by 2025.
“Nobody is safe,” said Zack Moore, security product manager with InterVision. “From small businesses to Fortune 100 companies to the highest levels of the U.S. government — everyone has been impacted by supply chain attacks in the last two years.”
