Supply Chain Blindspot: Businesses Fumble as Cyber Threats Multiply
SecurityScorecard’s latest findings reveal a comedic twist in supply chain security: while 88% of security leaders worry about supply chain attacks, far fewer than half actually bother to monitor their suppliers. It’s like worrying about a house fire but refusing to install smoke detectors. Time to stop flying blind and embrace cyber resilience!
Hot Take:
Ah, the good ol’ supply chain conundrum: it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is on fire, and the needle keeps moving. With companies seemingly more concerned about the next episode of their favorite binge-worthy series than securing their supply chains, it’s only a matter of time before they’ll need to swap their business suits for fireproof ones. SecurityScorecard’s report is a wake-up call, but it seems like many are just hitting snooze. Frankly, if these companies were any more relaxed about their supply chains, they’d be sipping piña coladas on a beach somewhere. Get it together, folks! The cybercriminals are not on vacation.
