How AI can fend off supply-chain attacks

These are examples of supply chain compromises that infiltrate a company's software directly, but there's another common attack vector; email.

How can you filter it from the herd of legitimate emails entering your systems? Darktrace argues that it's time for a new approach.

Whereas a traditional email scanning tool looking for an IoC match might miss an email from a supplier's account, Darktrace argues that looking for even minute deviations from normal can throw up red flags.

Attackers used a supply chain ruse to target 12 employees there with phishing emails.

Antigena scanned the content of the email and compared it to other emails that the real supplier had sent in the past.

With supply chain attackers using multiple routes into victims' systems, Darktrace argues that a multi-faceted approach to monitoring is crucial.
