Nation-State Actors Increasingly Targeting Hardware Supply Chains
Growing Threat to Businesses
In a recent report by HP Wolf Security, it has been found that an increasing number of businesses believe they have been impacted by hardware supply chain attacks from nation-state actors. 91% of respondents believe that these actors will increasingly target physical supply chains, such as installing backdoors into embedded systems to disrupt operations.
Importance of Third-Party Cybersecurity
This highlights the growing importance of third-party cybersecurity, as these attacks often involve third-party vendors who may not have the same level of security measures in place. Businesses need to be aware of the risks associated with working with third parties and take steps to ensure that their supply chains are secure.
This news is a reminder to businesses that they need to be constantly vigilant against cyber threats. By taking the necessary steps to secure their systems and working with trusted partners, businesses can help to mitigate the risk of hardware supply chain attacks.
