Security News > 2021 > December > The ripple effect: Why protection against supply chain attacks is a must
Whether or not it was a state-sponsored venture, this attack proved to be a huge wake-up call and shone a spotlight on software supply chain attacks.
Hence the emergence of one of the key growing attack vectors in 2021: the "Web supply chain attack".
This is the essence of a web supply chain attack - breaching a third-party service provider, injecting malicious code into the actual service and, as a result, spreading it to every website that uses it.
The UK's National Cyber Security centre offers some useful advice when it comes to assessing supply chain security and assessing supply chain management practice.

The SolarWinds supply chain attack certainly ruffled a lot of important feathers.
