This highlights how digitally connected organizations are dependent on each other, and when one link in the supply chain is broken it can have a cascading effect on others.

As soon as an organization's data moves over to a third party, the risks around it increase.

A service disruption in the supply chain can have a significant impact on the organization.

Despite the risks of supply-chain cyber security, there are still many steps organizations can take to vet their partners and improve their resilience against third-party attacks.

These are the partners that support business as usual operations, either providing services required by the organizations, or providing a service on the organization's behalf.

After these suppliers have been identified, the organization must then work hard to understand what access they have to their network and how data is shared with the supplier.
