Supply Chain Vulnerabilities and TPRM
Supply chain management and Third Party Risk Management (TPRM). Is there a difference? Companies often don’t realize how frequently security breaches happen with their suppliers and third party companies, and more importantly, how much of a risk they’re left at when these breaches occur.
It is important to review the kinds of breaches that occur and different risk management programs before it’s too late!
The types of common supply chain attacks
There are three types of supply chain attacks that you should be aware of:
– Compromising commercial software
– Compromising open source software
– Embedding malware during the physical production of technology
How to prevent a third party/supply chain breach
It is essential for your company’s safety to check with your third parties and review their cyber risk profile . Many organizations can have thousands of third parties, so the task of contacting each one can get to be extremely tedious. We recommend setting priorities based on each third-party’s risk inherent risk to your organization. Once this is complete, then you can go behind and assess those high risk companies and their cyber security procedures.
