This whitepaper examines the growing complexity of modern supply chains and the cybersecurity risks introduced by interconnected vendors and third parties. It highlights how supply chains have evolved into expansive digital ecosystems, creating multiple entry points for attackers. As noted on page 2, indirect attacks now account for a significant portion of breaches, while the visual comparison on page 3 shows the shift from linear chains to complex networks. The paper identifies common attack vectors such as business email compromise, OSINT-based targeting, and fileless attacks, along with mitigation strategies. By combining NDR with Collective Defense, organizations gain deeper visibility, faster detection, and coordinated protection across the entire supply chain.
