Supply chain attacks are a significant threat to companies worldwide, and understanding their dangers is crucial. These attacks involve compromising components in a product or service’s supply chain, allowing malicious programs to be injected into the end product. Once released into the market, these infected products can infect various systems and businesses.
Over the years, supply chain attacks have become more sophisticated and harder to detect. The recent attack on telecommunications provider 3CX, discovered in April 2023, highlighted the impact of such attacks. With 600,000 installations worldwide and over twelve million users, the consequences of a supply chain attack can be severe.
German companies are also at risk of supply chain attacks, making it crucial for them to continuously improve their security measures. Businesses must monitor their supply chains closely, implement comprehensive security measures, and regularly train employees to be prepared for emergencies.
