Relying solely on vendor platform security is insufficient to fully protect IT environments, as security responsibilities are shared between vendors and organizations. While vendors provide updates and safeguards, end users must properly implement and maintain them. This approach often fails to address threats below the operating system, particularly within the supply chain. Increasing attacks target low-level components such as UEFI, network devices, and server management systems, enabling persistent and difficult-to-detect compromises. These advanced techniques allow attackers to gain deep, long-term control across systems, highlighting the need for broader, more proactive security strategies beyond standard vendor protections.
