This whitepaper examines cybersecurity risks within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), a vast network of contractors and suppliers supporting national security. It highlights how attackers exploit weaker links in the supply chain to access high-value targets. As shown on page 3, the DIB has evolved into a complex, interconnected ecosystem with blurred security boundaries. The paper outlines common attack methods, including business email compromise and exploitation of third-party vulnerabilities, and provides defense strategies. By leveraging NDR and Collective Defense, organizations gain improved visibility, stronger threat detection, and coordinated protection across the entire ecosystem, ensuring better security for sensitive data and critical operations.
