Supply Chain Attack

Cyberattack via compromised suppliers, software or hardware rather than a direct attack on the target.

AusfΓΌhrliche ErklΓ€rung

A supply chain attack compromises a trusted supplier or software component to gain access to many downstream targets simultaneously. Notable examples include SolarWinds (18,000 organisations affected) and Kaseya (1,500+ companies). NIS2 Art. 21(d) and DORA Art. 28 explicitly require protection against supply chain attacks.
