Supply chain dependencies can hide unseen vulnerabilities that lead to major cyber incidents. As supply chains become increasingly digitized and complex, they provide a larger target for cybercriminals. According to ESET's research, many small businesses in the US and Canada underestimate the risks posed by their supply chains. Recent incidents, such as the 3CX compromise and CDK ransomware attack, demonstrate the potential for supply chain disruptions to cascade across industries.
