Testing the impact of potential
breaches in different segments of
the supply chain is essential. By
assuming a breach and mapping
the path to critical assets,
organisations can evaluate the
effectiveness of their controls and
identify areas requiring additional
protection. Implementing
measures like two-factor
authentication (2FA) can further
strengthen the security posture
and mitigate risks.
Identifying high-risk attack
paths helps organisations
prioritise remediation efforts and
investments. Adopting a riskbased framework enables targeted
risk reduction across various
aspects of the organisation’s
security operations, for example,
vulnerability management,
credentials management, posture
changes, and security investments.
Point-in-time discovery and
testing may not be sufficient to
catch temporary weaknesses or
transient changes in the supply
chain. Implementing a continual
discovery, prioritisation, and
validation approach ensures that
organisations remain vigilant and
maintain their risk tolerance levels
within acceptable limits.
Securing the supply chain is a collaborative effort
involving all stakeholders. Organisations should
establish robust communication and cooperation
channels with suppliers, consumers, and partners
to ensure collective protection against supply
chain attacks. With a comprehensive approach
encompassing risk management, resource
prioritisation, and continuous monitoring, businesses
can fortify their supply chains and safeguard
their critical assets in the face of evolving threats.
Remember, protecting your supply chain is protecting
your business.
