Supply Chain Attack
A supply chain attack targets the software or hardware supply chain rather than the end victim directly. Attackers compromise a trusted supplier — a software library, build system, or hardware manufacturer — to inject malicious code that is then distributed to thousands of downstream users.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Supply Chain Attack?
A supply chain attack targets the software or hardware supply chain rather than the end victim directly. Attackers compromise a trusted supplier — a software library, build system, or hardware manufacturer — to inject malicious code that is then distributed to thousands of downstream users.
How is Supply Chain Attack related to Malware?
Supply Chain Attack and Malware are both key concepts in threat intelligence. Malware is any software designed to harm, exploit, or gain unauthorized access to a system. It includes viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware, adware, rootkits, and more. Detection relies on file hashes, behavioral signatures, and threat intelligence feeds.
