In this interview with Help Net Security, Brandon Hoffman, CISO at Intel 471, talks about the growing threat of supply chain attacks, the most common supply chain vulnerabilities and how the right threat intelligence can help stay on top of these threats.

We are witnessing a growing number of supply chain attacks lately, and cybercriminals are becoming stealthier and smarter.

Supply chain attacks carry the same hallmarks of traditional cyberattacks but with a longer or larger goal in mind producing a chain of success attacks and a wake of victims.

Could you describe the main components of a supply chain attack?

With respect to supply chain vulnerabilities, the scope and reach of the security solution and its intelligence must be maximized, as it only takes a single vulnerability across an organizations vast supply chain for a ransomware attack to infiltrate a business network.

Staying a step ahead of cybercriminals is required to prevent and protect business networks from supply chain attacks.
