Security Analyst Case Study: See and Stop Software Supply Chain Compromises

Last year, Mandiant reported a significant increase in supply chain compromise–17% of intrusions over the course of 2021 started within the supply chain, up from <1% in 2020. This increase is partially explained by the fact that 86% of the compromise intrusions Mandiant tracked were related to the SolarWinds breach and SUNBURST. However, it also correlates to organizations maintaining technology relationships with an average of 244 vendors.
