Supply Chain Cybersecurity: The Whack-a-Mole Game No One’s Winning!
Risk Ledger’s research warns that nearly half of organizations have faced two or more supply chain cybersecurity incidents in the past year. Even with 90% of UK respondents worried about supply chain cyber incidents, many agree their third-party risk management strategies are lacking. It’s a cybersecurity whack-a-mole, and the moles are winning!
Hot Take:
Who knew that the supply chain would become the hottest new destination for cybercriminals? It seems the only thing more vulnerable than the supply chain is the communication between its guardians. From legal eagles to retail beagles, the entire supply chain has turned into a hacker’s buffet. Time for us to stop playing cybersecurity whack-a-mole and start building impenetrable fortresses! But hey, at least the UK’s got a Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to tackle this mess. Let’s just hope it’s not another exercise in legislative box-ticking.
Key Points:
- 46% of organizations experienced at least two supply chain cybersecurity incidents last year.
- 90% of UK respondents see supply chain cyber incidents as a top 2025 concern.
- Only 37% believe current third-party risk management approaches are effective.
- 54% report a lack of communication in identifying systemic supply chain risks.
- The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill emphasizes supply chain security.
