Security News > 2021 > December > 2022: Supply-Chain Chronic Pain & SaaS Security Meltdowns

This past year, the pain was felt in two significant ways: through the supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19, and through the many security breaches that we saw in our key IT suppliers.

Many organizations have been caught off guard by the pervasive and long lasting repercussions of the supply chain crunch from COVID-19, exacerbating other supply chain bottlenecks further downstream and causing headaches for consumers and missed revenue targets for major corporations.

Like COVID-19 supply chain disruptions, these attacks are not isolated events.

We won't really know the full ramifications of these attacks for some time, but we should anticipate several nasty security-related disruptions as the compounding effects from the 2021 supply chain compromises rear their ugly head in 2022.

Even though some of the workforce may be returning to the office in the New Year, it is likely that the shift to SaaS applications will continue unabated, if not accelerate, in 2022 thanks to the business agility that is gained through the use of SaaS applications.

Crippling supply chain disruptions, massive ransomware attacks, repeated vendor breaches, and a shortage of available talent have all combined to make the jobs of security teams much more difficult.
