The natural evolution of cybersecurity’s interconnected digital landscape continuously presents both new challenges and opportunities for organizations worldwide. While considerable efforts have been devoted to strengthening internal defenses, a growing concern looms large: the vulnerability posed by vendors within the supply chain.
