MSPs increasingly concerned about supply-chain security threats

Research this month shows MSPs are increasingly concerned about supply-chain security threats. It reflects a clear shift in attacker strategy: why break into one organisation when you can compromise a trusted supplier and reach dozens at once?

Why it matters

Supply-chain attacks are efficient for criminals and hard for victims to see coming, because the malicious activity arrives through a channel you already trust. Everyone is somebody’s supplier, and somebody’s customer.

The answer is shared discipline: vet your suppliers, limit the access you grant them, monitor for unusual behaviour, and expect your own customers to ask the same of you. We help clients tighten both ends of that chain.
