Reports on supply chains as major sources of cybersecurity threats.

Supply chains can be sources of cybervulnerabilities. One estimate has suggested that supply chains account for 80% of all cyber breaches. Insecure supply chains have fostered well-known cyberattacks. In a quest to break large organizations’ networks, cyber-criminals may look beyond the first-tier supply chain partners.
