A company's supply chain is like a body's nervous system: a mesh of interconnected manufacturers, vendors, sub-contractors, service delivery firms, even coding and collaboration tools.
A recent study by NCC Group estimated that supply chain attacks increased by 51% in the last six months of 2021, and the BlackHat 2022 conference featured a number of talks highlighting the vulnerability of supply chains not just between companies connected by business operations, but also software coding practices.
Where exactly your breached company data will end up is hard to predict and even harder to find, not least because the Dark Web is, well, dark.
The average time to detect and contain a data breach was 287 days according to IBM 2021 Cost of Data Breach Report, a week longer than the year before.
Lab 1 wants companies to react faster to cybersecurity threats and contain breaches that occur not just within a company's own perimeter - but across their entire supply chain.
Lab 1 scans the Internet - both Light and Dark - to discover compromised company data, before extracting, analysing and contextualising to build a picture of compromised data assets across the entire network of the company, its vendors and suppliers.
