Understanding Supply Chain Vulnerability

Supply Chain Vulnerability refers to weaknesses or susceptibilities present in the interconnected network of vendors, suppliers, contractors, and other third parties that provide products or services to an organization. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious actors to gain unauthorized access, compromise data integrity, disrupt operations, or introduce malicious code or components into the supply chain, leading to potential security breaches and threats to the organization's assets and operations. Supply chain vulnerabilities can stem from factors such as inadequate security controls, poor vendor risk management practices, lack of transparency in the supply chain, or insufficient oversight of third-party relationships.
