Hey r/cybersecurity 👋

It’s becoming impossible to ignore—supply chain attacks are rapidly emerging as one of the biggest cybersecurity threats of our time. High-profile breaches like SolarWinds, Kaseya, and recent open-source dependency attacks have proven that attackers no longer need to break into your systems directly—they just need to compromise someone you trust.

🔥 Why is this happening now?

• Organizations depend on hundreds (or thousands) of third-party vendors.
• Open-source components are everywhere in modern software.
• Many companies focus on securing their own network but forget their suppliers' risks.

The scary part? These attacks are often stealthy. They can sit undetected in trusted updates, APIs, or libraries for months.

💡 How to fight back:

• Managed Detection and Response (MDR): 24/7 monitoring to spot abnormal activity quickly—even from trusted sources.
• Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC): Build security into the development process and scrutinize third-party code.
• Zero Trust Approach: Never trust, always verify—internally and externally.

👇 Curious:

How is your organization preparing for supply chain attacks?
Are you actively auditing your third-party vendors and open-source dependencies?
Let’s share ideas and best practices—this is becoming a challenge that no one can solve alone.
