Supply chain risk demands integrated management across business, security, and IT

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Supply chain risk is a critical concern for modern businesses, as third-party involvement in breaches has doubled, according to Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report. IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report also highlights supply chain compromise as a significant initial attack vector. The article argues that managing this risk effectively requires an integrated approach, combining business risk, cybersecurity, and IT operations, rather than treating them in silos. A failure in a trusted vendor, such as the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor incident that affected millions of Windows devices, can disrupt operations as severely as a direct attack, underscoring the need for leadership to define critical suppliers and acceptable exposure levels.
